Subject: kernels 2.4.19--2.4.20-ac2 hang at boot
Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2002 11:34:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021215163419.893D986749@primary.mx.nitric.com> (raw)
Hi,
On a new machine, kernels 2.4.19-pre7 onwards hang immediately
after 'Okay, booting the kernel.' Earlier 2.4 kernels boot fine if
I supply mem=120M manually (installed memory minus shared memory).
2.2 kernels boot fine with no command-line arguments.
Shuttle FX41 mobo; Via KM266 chipset; onboard video.
This seems to be similar to Justin Heesemann's problem:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0208.2/0772.html
I assigned shared video to 0M in the BIOS but the system hung at
the same place, would only boot 2.4.19-pre6 with mem=120M
(I presume; no video to be sure that it was the same place). This
suggests that maybe it's not shared video memory that's the problem,
and mem=120M in some other way worked around the issue on earler
2.4 kernels.
Some 2.4.19-pre7 change to arch/i386/kernel/setup.c definitely
seems to have rendered these systems unbootable.
dmesg 2.4.19-pre6 / 8MB shared video RAM
