Re: Well that didn't work - Upgrading Woody from 2.2.19 to 2.4.9
It looks to me like you might have just chosen the wrong processor
option - this happened to me when I forgot to set it for a K6 family
chip. It hung in exactly the same place. Do you have a boot disk so
you can recover? Hope so. If you can, all you should have to do is
recompile for the processor you actually have in there.
Good luck,
Steve
