I was never able to reproduce the error when I compiled the kernel myself. Only the binary version has this issue it seems like. I've tried nearly 100 different variations in the way I compiled various versions of the kernel. (different configuration options, with and without Debian patches, with the Debian source package or the kernel.org package, etc...) While I was able to get it to fail for other common things though (no USB HID support, no support for SATA, etc...) but I could never get that error.On Thu, Nov 04, 2004 at 03:55:37PM +0100, Brecht Samyn wrote:I installed sarge (kernel 2.6.8-1-686-smp) to my PE 2850 and have the same problem:*) kernel stops after saying "Real Time Clock Driver v1.12".*) When I press ctrl-c, the booting continues until the hwclock.sh scripts runs, then it stops again. *) After another ctrl-c, the boot is complete.The same behaviour when halting: the "hwclock.sh stop" hangs (and now ctrl-c doesn't work anymore ;-) ).I can't run hwclock too: # hwclock -r hangs (also while configuring the timezone during install).Can you please take a moment to test the patch logged against bug 270426 which I believe is related. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270426
I don't have direct access to my machine right now, and I won't until monday. Also my hard drive got totally fragged from someone in my company who was learning the basic linux tools and ran fsck from gnome trying to figure out what it was over a week ago, so I have to restore from my backups. (Shouldn't take to long since I backup to a machine with a gigabit link and I'm using all 10k rpm SATA drives) Just going to a bit of fun getting it all done.
