| |
Hello, I have an issue with latest 2.6.20 kernel.. my last kernel was a 2.6.18 and I wanted to upgrade to a 2.6.20, I copied .config and did a make menuconfig, then save/quit. I compiled new kernel, all went fine. I installed it and at boot time, I had a hang just after "Freeing unused kernel memory" where INIT is supposed to start. After searching the web, I found that it is usually the case when wrong process type is configured.. I verified that, but all was fine there. After 10ish compiled kernel, I found that it is when I select highmem64.
Diff between working and non working kernel :
181,182c181,182 < # CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set < CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y --- > CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y > # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set 185d184 < CONFIG_X86_PAE=y 191c190 < CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y --- > # CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT is not set
(I just witching highmem 4G and highmem64g).
I'll attach the full .config.
it used to work fine with highmem64g with a kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 (I'm sure it was ok with .20-rc2 but I'll double check that).
Is this a bug ? or something I did wrong ?
Oh, I probably should add that this hang doesn't occur on all hardware, but it happen on Dell PE 850 at least.
