Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org When I tried 2.4.10 my machine crashed really hard upon starting the Xserver, not even alt-sysrq-SU worked, but alt-sysrq-B did reboot the machine. I've been trying divide and conquer to find out which kernel that crashes my machine from 2.4.8 and 2.4.10. 2.4.8 works fine 2.4.9 works fine 2.4.10-pre8 works fine ... (will try other kernels between pre8 and final tomorrow) 2.4.10 crashes hard I can here the monitor changing resolition just before the machine halts, but the screen is all black so I can't see any oopsmessages. I've tried with and without FB-console and with and without DRI enabled. Since alt-sysrq-S doesn't work, there is no usable message in /var/log/messages or output from startx. The only patch applied is the ext3 patch. The system is a Pentium II and the graphics card a Voodoo3 3000. # ./ver_linux If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version. Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

Is it an AGPGART issue perhaps. I've tried with and without IOAPIC on UP after reading the mail from Matthias Andree.
