Re: linux 2.6.5.1 [fedora core 2] custom build kernel reload

Hi Lenard,

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the steps you mentioned but it still hangs when Grub loads
kernel [Uncompressing].
So I was curious whether it is because of processor type.

Processor type shows Pentium III in the bios, but the linux running on
machine shows
I686 now which option should I choose during the config. Is this the
cause for m/c hang.

Thanks,
Vinod.
