| |
Back in October I had a problem with 2.1.125ac1 - it uncompressed linux, tried to boot the kernel, and then hung.. Several other people had the problem too although from what I could understand, they all compiled their kernel with egcs, and their problem got fixed by using -O2, not -O6 However I've always compiled my kernels with gcc 2.7.2.3 so I thought maybe the problem I had was just something that only happened on my machine. (machine is a K6200) However I just compiled and installed 2.0.37pre3 on one of my PRODUCTION machines, and am getting the same error - it will uncompress, tell me it's booting the kernel, and then I get nothing. This machine is an intel P166 Classic on a HX board, 96MB RAM, Stallion host adapter with 4x16 tty panels.
Coincidence? or has something changed in 2.0.37pre[123] that also changed in 2.1.125ac1?
2.1.125ac2 and onwards seemed fine on my K6, and in fact it is running 2.1.131ac8 quite happily now.

The 2.0.37pre3 said:
Loading linux Uncompressing Linux...done. Now booting the kernel
That's all I get. I've gone back to 2.0.36 now, which seems happy, other than random lockups I've been getting - no logs, or anything, which I was hoping to fix with .37
