| |
First of all, sorry for posting to the list without being subscribed.
I have seen in kernel 2.4.0-test8 and test9-pre2 sources that a bug that was making kernel 2.2.18 not bootable is still present. Someone said it was a back-ported bug, so I supposed that the patcd had been "for-ported" (what a kick to English...). But as I saw in sources it is still there.
Is something related with the <do {} while> and <while{}> semantics in init/main.c, in the <checksetup> and <do_initcalls> functions.
I have recently seen messages in the list about kernel stopping just in "booting linux...", that was just what 2.2.18 did because of that bug. It is not buggy in 2.4 ? Is a bug only in 2.2 for some external reason ? -- Juan Antonio Magallon Lacarta mailto:magallon@ivo.cps.unizar.es Grupo de Informatica Grafica Avanzada http://giga.cps.unizar.es Tlf: 34-976-762354,1916 - Fax: 34-976-761914 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
