Hi,
I've been having serious problems trying to get the 2.2 kernel to boot. I've tried everything I can think of, and unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to solve the problem, or even describe well enough for anyone to feel like they can give useful suggestions. So, I took out the video camera and captured the boot messages. I've also collected my 2.0 boot log, in case that provides useful information.
I've reduced the set of images down to the minimum, but it still more than I feel comfortable posting to a mailing list or news group. So, if you think you can help, visit the URL:
http://feynman.com/home/boot/
I'm open to any reasonable suggestions. And will be happy to lookup any additional information, and add debug statements to my kernel to print out additional information.
