Hi Ben,
Comparing the log files you supplied, I see that Voyage kernel does not
compile with ACPI feature, which may be used for interrupt assignments.
The last thing you can test could be limiting the runtime uarts to 1 to
see if it could make a difference.

This still doesn't explain the extremely slow booting after touching
the serial port. Please re-enable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME in the voyage
kernel config. It's very very useful for debugging this kind of issue.

Ben,
Looking at the console log, it seems that voyage is unable to locate
hda device. Try appending all_generic_ide to kernel parameter at
grub prompt.

In my continued effort to debug this booting issue, I rebuilt a new
initrd based on the default lenny kernel (2.6.26-1-486).
My procedure was this:
* gunzip and extract the voyage inird cpio file
* delete /lib/modules/2.6.26-486-voyage
* copy over the /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-486 from lenny
* repack the cpio with find * | cpio -ov -H newc | gzip -c - >
/mnt/cf/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-486
* copy the vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-486 from lenny
* add an entry to grub
* copy the lib/moduels to the voyage real rootfs
I then booted voyage Feb 18 nightly build, which failed to boot
properly.
I then booted with my test kernel/initrd which booted properly.
You can see the logs of my attempts at http://ben.nerp.net/voyage/

Hi Ben,
Since you are using serial console, I would suggest you put the
console output for us to investigate.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my earlier mail. These blade
servers do not have a console at all, they only support serial
installs.
I'm not sure exactly what the issue is yet, because after waiting
a long long time (10+min) it eventually gets past the serial
driver loading, but it never completes boot. It fails somewhere in
the initrd. I will try and log a boot sequence. Unfortunately,
the voyage kernel disables the kernel message timestamps so it
will be harder to debug the length of time it takes to boot. Can
those timestamps be enabled via boot args?

Hi Ben,
I suggest you to use console terminal option when installing, or
remove ttyS0 option at grub prompt.

I'm trying to get voyage-current (as of yesterday) booted on a
fairly old Trasmeta based blade server by RLX. I am able to
boot Ubuntu hardy, but the 2.6.26-486-voyage kernel will not
boot. It gets stuck after trying to load the serial drivers. I
chose Generic PC for install, and serial console at 38400.
(deafult for this system) I also had no problem booting lenny.
