| |
Sometimes, when booting Linux-2.3.24 from bzImage, machines display "Uncompressing Linux ..., Ok. Booting the kernel." Then the machine just sits there with the keyboard LEDS (Num-Lock, Caps-lock, and Scroll-lock) flashing at about a 1-second interval. It will do this "forever".
Can anybody tell me what it has found "wrong" that prevents it from continuing the boot? A whole bunch of new Dell Computers display this problem. The second boot will always work, but the first cold-start boot will often result in this problem.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.24 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Note 96.31% of all statistics are fiction.
