Subject: 2.6.0-test1-mm1 hangs on boot

Hi,

Wanted to try out 2.6.0-test1-mm1 but no luck.

The kernel doesn't boot. Right after saying "Ok, booting kernel..."
it hangs and only hardware reset helps at this point. And yes, I have
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE. When vesafb was compiled in it seemed to switch
screen resolution before hang (vga=791).

2.4 boots like a charm.

It's a KT133A motherboard with 1GB of RAM and 1200MHz AMD CPU.

I'll attach my .config.

Any help is appreciated.

Lenar

I'll try to track some vendor hackers more in tune with the issues of
this model. If I can rule out known issues I'll start looking deeper.

Missing some config options (you need CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE), hopefully the
defaults will get a bit more sane...

# Console display driver support
#
# CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE is not set
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
