Did you do any sort of compile for this other kernel? OR was it a rpm install? If so, you may want to try uninstalling the kernel, then installing it again. It will then try and rebuild it, and it may work then. Just a suggestion.
Another suggestion, don't install 8.1. Install 8.0. 8.1 has been nothing but hassles for us here, and a lot of people on th elist have found problems with it as well. I would suggest 8.0. tdh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.

(was 2779.72 with a standard Athlon 1.4) | | | Anyway, the upgrade went flawlessly till I went to boot mandrake 7.2 | | It started, then started framebuffer, then detected the drives, | then it stopped at this: | | ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14 | ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irg 15 | | it hadn't locked up, because the caps and number lock keys still worked.. it | just sat there doing nothing... for ages, I let it go for 30 minutes and | nothing changed. that was kernel 2.2.19-5.1mdksecure I could find nothing in | the logs to detail the problem but didn't expect to, because at this stage, | it isnt' writing anything to the logs. | | Then I did the 3 finger salute and selected the default 2.2.17-26 kernel... | | that worked, and it booted up.. | | So my question is, why does it boot 2.2.17, but not 2.2.19??? I don't want | to leave it like this because 2.2.17 was buggy and had security flaws didn't | it? | | (I tried to boot 2.2.19-4.1mdksecure as well, same problem as 5.1,, sat | there doing nothing.) | | I will be upgrading the system to mdk8.1 in a week or so, but I want this | thing to be secure until then.. | | Can anyone make any suggestions? | | One last observation, is that kudzu and harddrake could not load anythign | for the chipset, harddrake showed 4 unknown VIA "other devices" which was to | be expected, but the system worked well enough otherwise.. (except for the | 2.2.19 kernels.) | | | rgds | | Frank. | | Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? | Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -----------------------------Uptime ------------------------------- 4:01PM up 19 days, 4:41, 3 users, load averages: 0.08, 0.05, 0.01 -------------------------------------------------------------------
