Others have reported similar problems, i.e. NOTHING after the "booting kernel message". My case is: Dual P-II Xeons, Intel 440GX chipset. Booting with loadlin or syslinux-1.50 root-partition: /dev/hdc3 Kernel freatures: CPU set to Pentium-II No module support No plug "n" play Nothing unusual at all. (I've tried many variations) I've built many kernels in the past and can still boot linux-2.4.0-test10.pre??? versions. Any advice would be most welcome.
