| |
Hello there, Not a while ago I have upgraded from Kernel 2.4.9 to 2.4.10 and I noticed 2 strange things: After I am done with the compilation and I am setting my lilo to load the new kernel, and then I am booting the machine my machine gets stuck at boot time (before the init gets into action). this problem does NOT happen once I reboot the machine again and the kernel loads up straight with no problems, I then had to change a few things in the kernel's configuration (Tried playing with the APM a bit to see how come it's not working for me (I'll get to the apm issue soon...)) and I noticed that again - My machine gets stucked at boot time. Another reboot and that's it - works like a charm... I played with it some more and I found out this: Every fresh kernel I am running for the first time gets my machine freeze, after another boot everything is working well. Please tell me what other information you need - I'll supply it (Please cc to me as well and not just the mailing list since I am not registered in the majordomo due to a serious bandwidth problems...)
Another issue is an APM problem on my Dell Latitude C600 laptop (The same machine with the 2.4.10 boot problems... which runs slack8 b.t.w.) I can't suspend it, it gives a note stating "apm: Resource temporarily unavailable"... I've attached an strace of the command and my kernel configuration.
Thanks in advance.
