2.6 kernel boot crashing
I have an HP Pavilion A350N that I purchased from Best Buy a
couple of months ago. It has a 2.8-GHz Pentium 4 processor
"with Hyper-Threading Technology". Anyway, I'm running
Debian unstable, and every 2.6 kernel image that I have
installed has crashed at boot time. I have not tried
compiling my own, but I have tried both the -686 and the
-386 packages. Here's what I copied off of the black screen
before unplugging the machine from the wall.
