The symptoms are that the kernel boots, blinks the cursor a few times, then reboots without showing any messages or switching to the uvesafb mode specified on the commandline. Trying to boot the kernel in qemu causes it to hang with a blank screen and a non-blinking cursor, not even printing anything to a serial terminal. .config is below. I'm on an MSI-1651-ID2 laptop, core2duo T5550, 4g ram, compiled with GCC 4.4.3. <---- clip -----> what is the last good kernel? can you bisect this? Justin P.
