I ran into a snag trying to update to kernel 2.6.3. Could someone
point me in the right direction?
Box: PowerMac 8500 (OldWorld)
Loader: BootX
Previous working kernel: 2.4.17
Kernel Sources: obtained via "apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.3"
Symptom: Booting starts with "Welcome to...<kernel filename>
Booting hangs with last message being "arch:
exit:".
Kernel was configured with "make oldconfig" (seeded with 2.4.17
.cofig) and all default options.
Uncompressed vmlinux (4.2M) copied to /boot/Linux Kernels
Modules installed via "make modules_install"
What did I miss? Is there a trouble shooting guide somewhere?
Here's what I've found so far:
- Iniitial boot seems to run fine--all the way to idle()
- idle() is invoked about 9650(+/-) times until the system hangs during
a call to schedule().
Did I miss some patches for 2.6.3?
