Hi,
Linux-2.4.0-test12 doesn't boot on VAIO PCG-N505SN,
whereas linux-2.2.10 works fine (both booted by lilo-21).

It just hangs after printing:
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
HANG

Btw. Raw bzImage booted over USB-floppy just reboots...

Can this be infamous A20 again ?

Regards, Gunther

The bad news it that "printk" (the function that prints messages) also 
goes wrong when the wrong type of CPU is detected....

Hi,
compiling the kernel for P-II resolved my problem.

What would be necessary to print an error message
instead of just hanging?
