|
|
My kernel was fully functional over the last month. Had many rebuilds, all OK. Yesterday, decided to add support for video. Now that kernel won't boot, just uncompreses and curser stops. I've tryed many more rebuilds and even replaced my .config and re-emerged gentoo-sources, just incase, no good. No error messages.
My "backup" kernel is fine (three setup in Grub)
Gentoo 1.2, all ebuilds current.

I found that if I select Athlon as CPU (mine is 1800+) and NO SMP, my kernel will not boot, stalls after uncompressess.
If I select Athlon and YES SMP, boots OK
If I select Pentum III and NO SMP, boots ok
Bug ??

You could use the install CD and remove the problematic kernel driver. You will have to chroot into your gentoo system to do this, but if you installed gentoo, you could problbably do the same. |

I have the same processor as you, and mine works fine with smp disabled. I'm using the latest gentoo sources. |

First thing to note is that when you change something as drastic as SMP, make sure that everything is cleared out with something like: Code: | $ cd /usr/src/linux
$ cp .config ~/
$ make mrproper
$ cp ~/.config ./ |
...before you start the recompilation process. The next thing to try is vanilla kernel sources, if you're using something else currently. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |
