The system boots, prints the 'Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.' message and then locks up. After 2-3 seconds the capslock led turns off and then the system is totally locked, requiring a press of the reset button to reset the system (CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work). SysRq doesn't work either. My system specs: - AthlonXP 1700 - VIA KT266A chipset / 512Mb DDR ram - normal keyboard (no USB) and PS/2 mouse - GeForce4 Ti4600 videocard (kernel not compiled with framebuffer) - 3 IDE UDMA harddisks, 1 IDE CD-RW attached - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
