I'm setting up a machine for a friend, and I've got a weird problem. On a motherboard ( and old M571 I think ) with a Cyrix 686L processor I can't boot any of the recent series of kernels. When booting, I get the loading Linux and tye uncpressing stage, but it then locks solid. It looks like the bzimage problem that was around a good long while ago, however I CAN boot 2.2.15 which is also a bzImage. I've tried compiling the kernels as i386, as well as 586, and I've also tried the debian dstrbution kernels ( it's debian unstable, by the way ). Anybody got any ideas?
