The kernel freezes when enabling interrupts with sti() in start_kernel() (just before calculating BogoMips...). This looks like an interrupts is up when enabling so that it stops the MIPS and freezes the kernel. I'm looking after this interrupt but I would like to know if there could be any others reasons for my kernel to freeze when doing a call to sti(); Many thanks in advance for your suggestions... @+ Yoann
