by hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a new kernel. I installed Linux 2.0.0 on
a NEC Versa 2400 a while back and it works just great. But, I now need
something other than a prebuilt kernel, so I did a recompile, (which went
fine) put an entry in the /etc/lilo.conf for the temporary position,
re-ran lilo, and gave it a boot.
It loads, uncompresses and goes its merry way for a short while, but
suddenly starts issuing what looks to be some kind of debugging dump, and
continues doing so while left on. As far as I can make out the last thing
that was loaded before the dump occurs is the ide driver.
(My hard drive is a Hitachi DK223A-81, but I couldn't find anything about
this in either the ide block device Documentation or the kernel sources
(though I didn't look too hard for the source of the dump).)
I've tried setting the base, ctl, and irq number manually but it doesn't
seem to help. The wierd thing is that the premade kernel works without a
hitch.
If anyone has any experience with this type of problem I would greatly
appreciate your help. Please reply to my email address. Thanks.
later,
