RE: [gentoo-user] kernel panic after first boot!

2003-08-25 Thread jan meier
Hello, 
do a manual kernel configuration with `make menuconfig´, 
then you adjust the kernel configuration to your system.  
This should work. 
bye jan 
   
 Zitat von Gwendolyn van der Linden 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:  
   
   what is the cause of this? just before the kernel panic usb  
   was detected.  
   but what in the process of usb detection causes the system  
   to hang? i have  
   nothing attached on my usb-ports, keyboard  mouse are on PS/2...  

  What kernel?  What hardware?  
   
 i used the gentoo-sources kernel (kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6) with 
 genkernel,  
 so i did no additional kernel settings, but as in the doc's stated these  
 default-kernel-settings should be save...  
   
 my hardware is a siemens mainboard with a pentium III 866MHz with 256MB of

  
 RAM, a 40GB IBM HD, onboard graphics (intel 810), and onboard sound 
 (AC97),  
 oboard NIC (intel) that i don't use - i use a realtek PCI-NIC (8139too).  
 no special hardware at all...  
   
 i tried SuSE linux and Debian on this hardware with no problems...  
   
   

  Do you have ACPI or APM enabled?  ACPI is known to cause problems on  
  some system.  
   
 actually i don't know at the moment what is enabled or not...,  
 but as i said, suse linux and debian linux worked, i did not change 
 anything  
 in the bios settings since then... so the ACPI and/or APM settings are the

  
 same...  
   
   

  Are you using a kernel config that you know should work for your  
  machine?  
   
 i did no special kernel settings, just used genkernel with 
 gentoo-sources...  
   
 but i am wondering, why is usb-storage and hid hardware detected during  
 booting???  
   
   
 martin.  
   

  Gwendolyn.
