2.6.8-2 fails to boot on Opteron machine.
Hi!
I have a Opteron box which fails to boot any of the sarge 2.6
kernels I've tried. 2.4.27-2-386 boots and runs fine, but neither
2.6.8-2-386, 2.6.8-2-k7 nor 2.6.8-2-amd64-k8 boots.
I'm running standard sarge, not the unofficial amd64 port. I don't
need 64 bit support for this server, so I figured I'd go with the
official distribution.
There is no kernel crash when I try to boot, instead the kernel just
stops at:
Uncrompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
The motherboard is a Tyan K8S (S2850G2N) w. one Opteron 240 1.4GHz and
512MiB of memory.
The same problem occurs with both GRUB and LILO.
Any ideas? How can I debug this?
Regards,
\EF
