can you try initcall_debug option on FC3 ? (make sure 'quiet' isnt also on the command line) Entered: linux initcall_debug Same effect: Loading vmlinux Loading initrd.img................................................. hangs with blinking cursor just after that I tried to boot this box with the same 2.6 kernel as FC3 has on the CD. Same results: kernel hangs immediately. Here are the details, in case I am missing something: 1. Downloaded kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm 2. Build the sources this way: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec to create patched sources cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-FC3 set EXTRAVERSION = -FC3 in Makefile 3. Configure kernel for the box and build make xconfig (can send you .config upon request) make modules_install, make install cd /boot ; /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-FC3.img 2.6.9-FC3 update lilo (linuxFC3) make sure /etc/modprobe.conf is there (generated from /etc/modules.conf) 4. Reboot -> Hangs in 'Loading linuxFC3' FWIW, this FC1 box uses: binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-2 modutils-2.4.25-13 mkinitrd-3.5.14-1 An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |
