Kernel version is 2.4.6-pre3 as it comes straight from the XFS devel tree. Processor type is set to 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX. Everything compiles fine. Here comes my problem : the darn thing won't boot. I've seen at least 3 different behaviours after the "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel" message : Most of the time, it just crashes, nothing special. Sometimes, the screen blinks and turns blank (FB is not in...) Once or twice out of 20+ times, kernel panics. Any idea ? If you need the kernel panic trace I can try to reproduce it, though it seems very random. Regards, Thibaut
