Re: trouble booting 2.4.2 kernel--almost!
To all folks who have been helping me with problem before,
but with the v2.4.1 kernel, I just tried the v 2.4.2 kernel and it got further.
The system actually booted this time. The following is evidence of the
fact that it booted:
Linux fea6 2.4.2 #1 Thu Feb 22 15:02:26 EST 2001 alpha unknown
However, it did not stay up long. It locked up solid. I suspect that
the auto-mount of a drive from a remote machine might have
done it, but I am not sure.
Also, it has been suggested to me to try the "generic" insteady of
"pc164" Alpha type. The problem there is that the
"CONFIG_ALPHA_SRM=y" cannot be set for generic kernels
(at least from make menuconfig).
Any ideas on what could be wrong or what to try are appreciated.
Here is the output from dmesg right after it booted:
