| |
Hi,
I have a truly ancient i586/UP/32 bit PC (for historical reasons) that happily runs Linux 6.4.16. However, when I tried to upgrade it today to run Linux 6.5.13, I discovered that both its console and its networking froze almost immediately after it had booted. There is no sign of any oops in any of the logs. My first thought was that memory corruption had crashed the kernel, except that the SysRq interface still works correctly.
The PC's userspace has not changed at all; I have only upgraded its kernel from 6.4.16 to 6.5.13. And restoring the 6.4.16 kernel restores correct operation. However, I cannot identify any clue as to what could be wrong with my 6.5.13 kernel. Can anyone suggest anything that may have changed between 6.4 and 6.5 that could be causing this please?
Thanks for any assistance, Cheers, Chris
