Kernel 2.5.72 doesn't load up

Kernel 2.5.72 doesn't load up

Post by gilson » Tue, 01 Jul 2003 23:00:14



Hi!

Just as when I tried 2.5.64, I get now the same result with 2.5.72.
When I reboot with the new kernel, I get:
   "Booting 'Linux-2.5.72'
   kernel (hd1,14)/vmlinuz-2.5.72 ro root=/dev/hdb2 hdc=ide-scsi
 [Linux - bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xdd72f]
   initrd (hd1,14)/initrd-2.5.72.img

 Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel."
And it hangs there, whether I compile with Mandrake-9.1 or RedHat-8.
I'd love to learn what I'm doing wrong.
Kindly CC to me.

Well, does it _really_ hang or are you able to ping that machine from another
machine? Your error looks like the 8435989 times discussed misconfiguration
;)

CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y

Make sure you have the above set in your .config

Or, to speak in menuconfig language:

Input device support ->
 [*] Input devices (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...)
Character devices ->
 [*] Virtual terminal
    [*] Support for console on virtual terminal

ciao, Marc

Kernel 2.5.72 doesn't load up

Perhaps this option should just be set as default and don't
even prompt the user for it during make config/menuconfig/xconfig.
99% of the people probably want this option and for those who
don't probably have the smarts to just manually edit the .config and
remove it.
