Hi, I'd like to pipe in with another report of 2.5.62 not booting.
I _do_ have these lines in my .config and 2.4.19 boots easily while
2.5.62 does not. In fact, neither does 2.5.61.

2.5.59 (with a virtually identical .config) boots fine, but when I
reboot 2.4.19 suddenly doesn't boot (just once, though). If I turn the
machine off and back on that problem goes away. I am not sure if it
is related.

I am not using ACPI. I am using APM. The system is a Dell Inspiron
8200 with a 1.4 Ghz Mobile P4. The bootloader is lilo. Any other
information I'd be glad to give, but debugging is hard because the
kernel doesn't even get to the stage where it prints out it's own
version number.

Regards,
Floris Kraak
