Is it a solid hang, or does the keyboard still work?
If so, alt-scrolllock will get you an EIP of where its*/looping.

Yes it seems so, but I wonder why it worked without any problem with
2.5.60...? So in any kind it IS a kernel related problem...

OK, I did do a <ALT><SysReq>P and got following (again hand copied... ;-):

Pid: 0, comm: swapper
EIP: 0060:[<c0107052>] CPU: 0
EIP is at default_idle + 0x26/0x2c
EAX: 00000000  EBX: c010702c  ECX: cffac660
   ....

Can you try -bk3 ?
It may have contained some of the signal fixes that went in recently.
I'm not sure how many of those made it into -bk1/bk2.

Sorry for the delay, but this machine compiles slowly... ;-)
And you were right, the problem is fixed in -bk3!

1. 2.5.60 not booting on P4 3.06HT

I have actually been struggling with booting the system, a Dell Dimension
4550 with a P4 3.06ht, with either 2.5.59 or 2.5.60.

Several compile problems in 2.5.60 and had to disable support for a whole
bunch of stuff and finally when rebooted (using grub) the system hangs at
"Loading linux.....".

The system boots with 2.4.18 (redhat's 8.0 install).

Same problem occurs with 2.5.59.

Config is attached.

Has anyone booted a P4 ht 3.06 system or ran into similar problems?

Thanks in advance.
