The 2.6.15 dmesg do not give any clues to why 2.6.20.6 would not boot. Can you boot 2.6.20.6 with "debug" and capture the serial console log, or take a photo of what is on the screen when the boot hangs? Did anything between 2.6.15 and 2.6.20.6 work properly? Can you bisect where the failure started? > On x86_64 hardware using ata_piix I was unable to boot kernels > based on the current 2.6.20.x either.

If "acpi=off" is necessary to boot the latest kernel, please report an ACPI bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI Please mention in the bug report what the latest working kernel was. thanks, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
