The report itself is: ################################################################################ [1.] Linux crashes at the 'interactive startup' boot stage. [2.] Once the system is trying to boot, first stage (which is *before* msg 'Interactive startup') it is all O.K. Once the 'Interactive startup' stage begins, the bootstrap process fails with diffirent msgs; all of them begins with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at address..." or "Unable to handle kernel dereference at address..." (first 'reason' is in the majority of cases, the second is quite unusual). It seems to me that this is a trouble with initrd.img, because once I've recompiled kernel with ALL OPTIONS (not suitable to my hardware, i.e. SCSI adapters) turned OFF, the problem remains. I've notices that sometimes such a trouble is 'reached' with 'IH' flag of 'EFLAGS' (bit no 10) set to zero. As far as I know it's status, it tells CPU ignore any interrupt requests... The keyboard stops functioning on such a crashes as usual, but there was TWO TIMES the keyboard remains it's working state like an echo, not like control-device. :-\ May be, it's lamer's notice, I do not know, but I thought this may be useful...
