The problem is that the kernel gets stuck at the initialization of the APIC during boottime. The real weird thing is that if he boots linux-2.2.18 and afterwards 2.4.4, the kernel boots properly. So it seems that kernel 2.2 does some "initalization" that helps 2.4.4 to boot. Does anyone have a clue? Best Regards, Hermann -- ,_, (O,O) "There is more to life than increasing its speed."
