Re: Can't boot amd64 kernel
I have a virtually identical system (except with 6GB RAM) and see the same
problem. THe various kernel options haven't helped.
I have been able to sucessfully boot earlier 32 bit kernels (prior to
about 2.4.20 I believe; for instance Knoppix works), but later ones and
the 2.6 series stop at the same place you see.
64 bit kernels (I'm now running 2.6.0) seem to boot fine, though.
