Very Computer

Hi there.

The System is:
RedHat 6.2, Intel 486 PC,
Linux version 2.2.14-5.0
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release))

I downloaded 2.2.19 sources, configured and compiled it,
updated lilo and restarted the machine.
the system hangs during boot, last message was:
Starting kswapd v 1.5

Configuring and compiling the 2.2.14-5.0 sources with the same kernel
options as used with the 2.2.19 don't make any trouble.

Any suggestion?

Out of curiousity, there is a file that comes with kernels, subdirectory
Documentation/ (so /usr/src/linux/Documentation/). In that directory is
a file called "Changes". In that file are a list of package version
requirements, and a convenient list of commands to find current version.
Did you go through that yet and find out if all your package versions
are up to date? There might be some that you don't have at all, those
won't matter. But if you have the wrong package version there, it
*might* cause problems for you...it's a general first step to check.
