Kernel (Debian-Sarge) 2.6.8-X freeze
... and I'd like to know why !
Had this since I added 2.6.8-1 to 2.6.7: 2.6.8 starts and kind-of freezes
after some lines of kernel-error-messages; after mounting the harddisk.
Didn't bother, hoping that it would go away with the next version. But on
2.6.8-2 the same thing happens. 2.6.7 boots fine, though.
It boots, does a lot of things then writes some error messages. No,
/var/log/kern is and remains empty whenever I boot to 2.6.8. So here is
what happens:
...
[<c01042ad>] kernel-Thread_helper+0x5/0x18
Code: 89 01 89 48 04 b8 00 01 10 00 c7 43 04 00 02 20 00 8d 9a 8c
<6>note: kblockd/0[42] exited with preempt_count 1
Yenta:
[then it continues for a few lines until
...
ieee1394: Host added:ID:Bus [0-00:1023] GUID [434fc0003ab22838]
>From then onwards, nothing. It still echoes Enter; but nothing more
happens. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D don't do anything
either.
It might have to do with
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/01/msg00844.html,
but I can't be sure.
