I ran into a snag trying to update to kernel 2.6.3. Could someone
point me in the right direction?
Box: PowerMac 8500 (OldWorld)
Loader: BootX
Previous working kernel: 2.4.17
Kernel Sources: obtained via "apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.3"
Symptom: Booting starts with "Welcome to...<kernel filename>
Booting hangs with last message being "arch: exit:".
Kernel was configured with "make oldconfig" (seeded with 2.4.17 .cofig)
and all default options.
Uncompressed vmlinux (4.2M) copied to /boot/Linux Kernels
Modules installed via "make modules_install"
What did I miss? Is there a trouble shooting guide somewhere?
Thanks,
