I tried the 2.6.30 kernel you suggested, now it tries to boot, but I get a kernel panik after trying to mount the root. I cannot make out too much but I have console output which I do not have with the regular 2.6.32 kernel.
I suspect they hang at the same place though, with the difference of the output o the screen, ( only if using the debug flag ) ... I get some messages about popullating the foot fs, and vfs, after that whe I get to kernel init its game over. I cannot scroll backwards with shift-pageup ... in order to see what happens when it fail, and if I could get some output I could try to diagnose. Any ide´a on how to proceed ? The biggest problem seems to be that it panics when mounting the root fs. But if I could get console output from the 2.6.32 kernel I would know a bit more, I know the i945g graphics chip can be a bit picky .... Any ideas ? Should I open a bug report ? / regards, Lars Segerlund. 2010/2/14 Frans Pop <elen...@planet.nl>: > On Friday 12 February 2010, Lars Segerlund wrote: >> I have a Sony Vaio TX3 ( VGN-TX3XT ) , which runs a on an intel >> celeron ULW, and has a i945g graphics chip. >> >> I have reinstalled with the squeeze install cd, but cannot boot the >> kernels on the machine. > > So the installer boots and works correctly, but the installed system fails > to boot.
