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 I have reproduced this with several different kernels, including a standard RedHat 2.4.9-13 kernel. The problem is that the kernel will hang when booting without a keyboard or mouse plugged in. It hangs right after the line: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16) When the kernel boots (with kbd plugged in), the next line will be about starting swap. I'm compiling a kernel now without APM support in the hope that that will make the problem go away. Any other suggestions are welcome!
