I just upgraded an older machine, PII 400mhz, 256mb RAM, from Etch to Lenny.
The upgrade went smoothly, but the new Lenny kernel hangs upon booting. The
old Etch kernel (2.6.18) is still present and boots up fine into the Lenny
upgrade. When booting from the 2.6.26 kernel, it never makes it to the
"Uncompressing Linux" stage, only appears to load the kernel and the initrd,
then just stops. Ctrl-Alt-Delete will reboot it, so it doesn't lock hard, just
goes into a coma. I've re-installed the kernel image and have tried a few
suggested boot parameters, (noapic, etc,etc) but there is no change. Any idea
of what might cause it to hang that early in the boot?
Thanks,
D. C. Busboom
