My machine was hard-locking with a kernel built from yesterday. With boot -s, it freezes before you can hit return for the shell. This is a fairly generic PIII machine with ATA hdd. Booting with a keyboard and video attached works wonderfully, but is a pain in the ass with a machine that's supposed to be headless. This was working fine on the serial console before the interrupt and APIC_IO commits. It guess (*) I needed these in the kernel config, by adding options SMP device apic device acpi into my config it now boots up via serial console. *NOTE: I didn't think I had to bother with the note in UPDATING before since IO_APIC was commented out in my previous kernel config and acpi had been disabled. just a FYI for anyone else who might be lurking/searching the current list with the same problem. -- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);Received on Wed Nov 05 2003 - 10:02:04 UTC
