I have a 1.8 GHz turion notebook (specs attached). I was running
debian-amd64 with few problems, but after the last 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' i am unable to boot from the new 2.6.18-4-amd64
kernel. Kernel 2.6.18-3-amd64 boots fine and that's the one i
still use.
I use the one and only grub to boot. When i select Debian with the
new kernel, i just see the grub script appear on screen for a
second and then the screen goes black and the system hangs. Here's
the script that boots the new kernel (nothing sort of unusual):
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-amd64
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-amd64 root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=771
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-amd64
savedefault
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
