When 2.4.0test10 bootup, i got the "Loading" message, then "Uncompressing kernel...", i can see quickly "Booting.....", and it does it: it reboots. My last kernel was 2.4.0test7, and was not exibiting the problem. I've recheck my .config, but it's the same as for 2.4.0test7. My gcc: [root@Djinn linux]# gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.95.2/specs gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) [root@Djinn linux]# according to Changes may be good. The laptop is a 486dx2@40 compaq contura 400cx, two thing that may be important: it has early cpuid support(many changes occured in this area recently), and it doesn't have any PCI bus(but kernel is compiled with it, in order to have Card drivers). -- %-------------------------------------------------------------------------% % FORT David, % % 7 avenue de la morvandière 0240726275 % % 44470 Thouare, France [EMAIL PROTECTED] % % ICU:78064991 AIM: enlighted popo [EMAIL PROTECTED] % %--LINUX-HTTPD-PIOGENE----------------------------------------------------% % -datamining <-/ | .~. % % -networking/flashed PHP3 coming soon | /V\ L I N U X % % -opensource | // \\ >Fear the Penguin< % % -GNOME/enlightenment/GIMP | /( )\ % % feel enlighted.... | ^^-^^ % % http://ibonneace.dnsalias.org/ when connected % %-------------------------------------------------------------------------% - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
