Re: Kernel 2.5.59
FWIW, I am having the same trouble. Have you had any luck on this
front? I also know that my VGA Text console is enabled, and there is
only a hiccup of disk activity after 'Booting Linux'.
Anyone want to share their working 2.5.59 .config? Many options I tried
failed to build, including vesafb and atyfb, but it seems like the basic
VGA text console should work - maybe it's something later on.
I checked the pages recommended by another poster, but all that I can
tell is that it is hanging during this stage:
<- snip ->
Uncompressing Linux... Ok. Booting the kernel.
The i386-specific setup.S code has now completed its job and it jumps to
0x00010000 (or 0x00100000) to start the generic Linux kernel code.
....
This runs linux/arch/i386/head.S which in turn jumps to
start_kernel(void) in linux/init/main.c where the interrupts are
redefined.
linux/kernel/module.c then loads the drivers for the console and pci
bus.
<- snip ->
so, assuming that another unselected option elsewhere isn't necessary
for "VGA Text Console" to work, perhaps it's an issue with the PCI bus?
Perhaps something with smp? I'll try a non-smp kernel and see? What
sort of hardware are you running? I'm on a dual coppermine 866 / Tyan
Tiger 230T. It's got a VIA Apollo PRO 133T chipset, 1024MB of ECC
SDRAM, and a GeForce Ti4200. AGP card lspci says:
