On machine A (Celeron 800Mhz) it all boots up fine with any kernel, on machine B (P75 @ 100Mhz, ancient BIOS and mobo) it hangs after the message 'freeing up XX k unused kernel memory'. I have compiled the 2.4.17, 2.4.0 kernels set to 'classic pentium', but both would hang... What can be the cause for this? (keep in mind it works fine on the newer machine) Thanks in advance, Stepan :: stepan hluchan -------------------------------------------------------- p : +31.(0)626.126.308 e : stepan@3amp.com i : http://stepan.3amp.com/ Gallery - http://stepan.3amp.com/gallery/ -------------------------------------------------------- - 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/
