Hi,
I re-installed my laptop (dell inspiron 8100) with the new installer (kernel 2.6).
Then I apt-get the newer kernel source and compile it (make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image; dpkg -i kernel-image...). but it hangs randomly during the boot (sometimes at ide detection or when setting system clock,..).
Try booting with acpi=off. We have a bunch of Dell servers that hang at
boot because of hwclock (hangs right after loading rtc driver).
We had to hack the hwclock rc script and pass --directisa to hwclock.
You could simply not use ACPI but we needed it to enable hyperthreading.
I don't really know about the IDE detection stuff. Everything here is SCSI.
Then I made a 'make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image' and now it boots and run stable.
I think I failed to understand something.. ;-)
Regards,
Frédéric
