But no success yet. Did you try to boot with nomfgpt? In my experiments disabling CONFIG_GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER won't be enough to boot 2.6.24-rc8 on a v0.98 bios or on a v0.99 bios with MFGPT workaround turned on in the bios menu. Otherwise the system will hang in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c while trying to detect MFGPT timers. To clearify, for us the following works: v0.99 bios, MFGPT workaround turned off in bios and CONFIG_GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER=n --- snip --- Best regards, Arnd Hannemann -- 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/
