-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have an IBM Stinkpad that has been running Mandrake for several years without problem. It currently runs 9.1 and 2.4.21-0.13mdk without problems. I have tried building -0.18mdk and, most recently, -0.25mdk kernels but neither works. Since 0.25mdk is the latest, here's the deal with it.
I used the same config as I did to build my 0.13mdk kernel which works perfectly. When I restart after the build/install, it refuses to bootup. Instead, as soon as it loads linux, the screen blanks/goes black and the system restarts. No error message appears, or if it does it comes and goes too fast to see. I then rebuilt it from scratch, manually selecting or deselecting options as always. The main selection I go for vs the default kernel is in GRSECURITY - I select a number of the network security options...nothing that should in any way, shape, or form, prevent bootup. I try rebooting after install and, as before, I select linux, the screen blanks, it indicates its loading linux but then blank, reboot, ad infinitum. The only way to get back up is to bootup my old 0.13mdk kernel. No error messages appear in any logs, it occurs too soon and too rapidly. What's up with all the kernels beyond 0.13mdk that renders them unusable on an IBM Thinkpad 1412 (celery 366)? praedor - -- Key fingerprint = D6F9 8682 2257 2871 10C6 DB92 6F50 8BBA B100 EB15 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/P2DYb1CLurEA6xURAryfAJ9x58sfw/ueieu1P3545maAg54b2wCfWLOA a1lIWi8Ed3XwM3/AMiVFyEE= =JrUm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
