kernel booting
So I installed woody onto my blade and it boots to a 2.4.18 kernel with no
problems. I figured I'd try something more recent - or at least something
that could do smp. Grabbed the 2.4.27 kernel package and installed it.
Here's the question: would an initrd dependant kernel be what's causing
the system to freeze on boot after the 'remapping the kernel' part?
I'm curious now because the 2.4.18 kernel is not an initrd style kernel,
but the 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 are - and both of those freeze after loading.
My silo.conf entries are as follows:
image=2/vmlinuz
read-only
label=linux
image=2/vmlinuz-2.4-smp
read-only
label=linux-2.4
initrd=2/initrd-2.4.img
image=2/vmlinuz-2.6-smp
read-only
label=linux-2.6
initrd=2/initrd-2.6.img
The first is the 2.4.18 kernel and works fine. The other two I had to
manually create, modeled after my pc lilo.conf and when running silo it
says things are kosher, and at boot it pulls up the images - but hangs
after 'remapping the kernel'.
