Hello, now I tried booting the kernel from the package kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (version 2.6.8-3) without the "vga=791" parameter like this:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-686 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-686 root=/dev/hda5 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-686 savedefault boot This way I at least some output from the kernel, before it stops. I wrote down everything I could see on the screen, since I do not know which part of the informations might be relevant for tracing this bug: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local APIC disabled by BIOS - reenabling.

I press the power button for some time to switch off the machine. And then I booted with 2.6.7-1 again. Hope that this helps a bit. Regards, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de
