Re: 2.6 686 kernel hangs at boot



Sorry. I'll tell you all I can think to tell.

Here is my lilo.conf (pertinent parts):

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-1-686
        label=2.6.0
        read-only
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.3-1-686

Both /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-1-686 and /boot/initrd.img-2.6.3-1-686 exist. 

running lilo gives me this:

Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/hda'
Added 2.4.24 *
Added 2.6.0

As you can see I am currently running 2.4.24. It boots without any
problems. Both are the apt-gettable official debian binary packages. 

I have tried the option "acpi=off." I wrote this:

2.6.0 "acpi=off"

It still did "Uncompressing kernel.... bootting Linux kernel." 

And then stops. 

Thank you,

David
