Re: Lenny kernel (2.6.26) hangs



2009/2/21 Dennis Busboom <dcbnebr@xxxxxxxxx>:

I tried linux-image-2.6-686 and linux-image-686 (for PentiumX machines).
Both behave the same way. I see the kernel and initrd load, then nothing.
The old 2.6.18 still boots right up. I also tried going into the grub
command-mode and doing a 'testload' on the kernels and initrd images.
They appear to load just fine, but trying to actually 'boot' them sends
the machine into never-never-land. Definitely something this old box
doesn't like about the new kernal.

Yes, If it's not getting to a kernel panic from unable to rind a root
device then i'm perplexed. You seem to be running the right kernel for
your machine.

Could you try running memtest86+ on it and see if its a memory issue.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
