I have a pc/104 system based on ZFx86 cpu (486 equiv.) and 64M ram. LFS5.0 has been happily running on it for over a year now. I need to upgrade to 2.6 kernel and I figure the easiest would be to use LFS livecd. The problem is that the boot hangs and the last message is: Freeing unused kernel memory: 456k freed
So, somewhere after the call to 'free_initmem' something goes wrong. I have tried to boot with acpi=off - no luck. And booting with init=/bin/sh doesn't make a difference, therefor I believe that the system gets stuck before the run_init_process calls in .../init/main.c. I have also tried the slax live cd but it gets stuck much earlier, after displaying 'BIOS check successful'. However, if I take out my hard disk, then slax boots up fine !?! If I boot with slackware 9.1 boot cd, everything is ok, even with my harddisk attached. So I believe it could be something that is common among the 2.6 kernels. cheers -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
