The no display symptom makes sense if there's a problem in a setup routine. These routines are called before console_init. Printk's before console_init are queued up and only displayed after console_init is called. If the kernel hangs before this point, nothing is displayed. > With 2.5.27, the kernel instantly rebooted itself instead. The changes went in in 2.5.27. Can you please send my your .config file? I'll look at this tonight. Thanks.
