I've been tracking down my booting problem, and while reviewing old email, found that in trying to track down (and never succeeding) a VM problem last fall, I determined that any kernel after 2.4.15-pre2 would not boot on my machine. So, something changed between 2.4.15-pre2 and 2.4.15-pre3 that means linux will not boot. The symptom is that the boot sequence displays "Loading linux-2.4.19..." but never display "Uncompressing". I've enclosed the 2.4.15-pre3 Changelog. Any ideas which of the changes would have affected booting?
pre3: - Al Viro: sanity-check user arguments, zero-terminated strings etc. - Urban Widmark: smbfs update (server/client cache coherency etc) - Rik van Riel, Marcelo Tosatti: VM updates - Cort Dougan: PPC updates - Neil Brown: raid1/5 failed drive fixups, NULL ptr checking, md error cleanup - Neil Brown: knfsd fix for 64-bit architectures, and filehandle resolveir - Ken Brownfield: workaround for menuconfig CPU selection glitch - David Miller: sparc64 MM setup fix, arpfilter forward port - Keith Owens: Remove obsolete IPv6 provider based addressing - Jari Ruusu: block_write error case cleanup fix - Jeff Garzik: netdriver update
Thanks!
