Hi Rich, My ethernet adapter is an on-board (motherboard: Intel Desktop Board D850GB) Intel Pro/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter. It can be probed by the default kernel of RedHat7.1. I am not sure if it's or not the reason.
According to the lui_install script, my bzImage file is from /usr/local/lui/samples/bzImage.242 The boot screen is like this: <skipped> Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0. CPU: After vendor init, caps: 3febfbff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: After generic, caps: 3febfbff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: common caps: 3febfbff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1700MHz stepping 0a per-CPU timeslice cutoff: 731.73 usecs.

Therefore it would be great if somebody can give me a hand. :-) Best, MJ on 11/14/2001 4:50 AM, Richard C Ferri at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > MJ, > There are several reasons why the linux boot kernel might hang; I > would not suspect the P4 first. > I think more likely it's a question of the ethernet adapter.
