Here's the failure mode from the 2.6.8 kernel, as best I can copy it checking if image is in initramfs...it isn't (ungzip failed); looks like an initrd Freeing initrd memory: 4696k freed NET: registered protocol family 16 PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10, entry at 0xf0031, last bus=1 PCI: Using configuration type 1 mtrr: v2.0 (20020519) ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326 So, I'll try your suggestion (acpi=off), but I'd be interested to know if the real error is the initrd ungzip failure) -- Jon Thackray - [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44 1223 425556 (H) +44 7803 017991 (M) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
