Hey,
I compiled 2.6.0-test5 today and installed it with a basic make
install. This was a bz2 based kernel. Unfortunately, just after the
kernel is uncompressed at bootup, the system reboots. What can I do to
start fixing this?
Thanks

Please verify your processor type in the configuration.

I set the CPU type to PII/Celeron and recompiled. It was at
PIII/Celeron but it still won't work. It is still rebooting.

Please send your .config and a dmesg from a working kernel.
Thanks

The files should be attached. If they aren't, please let me know!
Thanks for your help.

Can you try with the following patch, courtesy of Adam Belay, my box
panicked with your .config without it.

This unfortunately didn't help. It still reboots right after it
uncompresses the kernel.

Please try the attached .config, if that works, start removing things like
ACPI from your configuration.

When I did a make it kept asking me for configuration options ("Do you
want to add this? [Y/n]") I'm not sure what to say to all these.

Bah! I wasn't thinking this morning. I ran a make menuconfig and now
I'm running make, so ignore my last message. I'll reply later about the
new kernel.

Yay! This works. I am going to fiddle around with my kernel setup
(ACPI first?) and see what is causing my system to not boot. However,
the minimal kernel you sent me does work.

I disabled ACPI and that didn't help. I reenabled it now and I'm
looking for other options to disable. But I don't know where to start.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What CPU are you running on? It isn't an Opteron is it? I saw the same
thing with the NUMA support for the AMD64.
Use "make menuconfig" and have a look at all the options under the first
few menus. Make sure your CPU and power management options look right
for your machine. When in doubt read the help text for the option, it
is sometimes very helpful.

You can pick the Pentium-III here, since you have a Coppermine core
Celeron. But this will almost surely not be any part of the solution to
the problem.

I'd turn this off, just to see if it makes any change. It says it is
"believed to be safe", but it is experimental, and your controller BIOS
almost surely does not support it.

Other than the EDD setting, I see nothing. What do you have in the next
choice after ACPI, the APM stuff?
Also, can you see anything on the screen before it reboots? There is
nothing after "Uncompressing kernel..."? Just boom, it reboots?
There isn't much that can trigger a reboot that early on.

I turned this off. I'll report my findings shortly.

I have all the ACPI stuff enabled and no APM enabled. I do not have
ACPI debuggging statements enabled.

It says Uncompressing kernel....................gives the message saying
the uncompression is done and then reboots. The time between finishing
the uncompression and rebooting is about .1 sec.

I figured that, which is why I am asking for help about where to disable
things?

Disabling this didn't fix anything.

I would turn off all of these. None of them should be necessary. You cab
turn ACPI back on afterwards to see if it works again.

Sure, but let's take it off the mailing list.

/proc/cpuinfo says:
model name: Celeron (Coppermine)
So my configuration for the first 5 main menu items that are enabled in
makeconfig are:
* Prompt for developer and/or incomplete code/drivers
* Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly
* Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware
* Support for paging of anonymous memory
* System V IPC
* BSD Process Accounting
* Sysctl support
* Subarchitecture Type (PC-compatible)
* Processor family (Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine))
* Preemptible Kernel
* Machine Check Exception
* /dev/cpu/microcode
* /dev/cpu/*/msr
* /dev/cpu/*/cpuid
* BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk
* Power Management support
*Full ACPI Support (minus the ASUS Laptop Extras and Toshiba Laptop
Extras)
Do you see anything in that list which I should look into ditching first?
Thanks
