Hi,

I have the problem that my new P4 (1.6 GHz Northwood) box with i845E
chipset doesn't boot with the 2.4.19(-pre2) kernel nor with the 2.5.31
kernel (I also tested RedHat and Suse kernels without success). But it
does boot with the late 2.2 series kernels (I tested 2.2.19 and 2.2.21).
After displaying the message "umcompressing linux ... ok. Bootig the
kernel" nothing else happens.

Can anybody please give me a hint how I can look for further debug
information ?

Best regards

I have another update:
some might know the memtest86 utility.

it has three ways of detecting the memory size "BIOS - Std", "BIOS - All" and 
"Probe"

on my Athlon Mainboard (which has no Problems with 2.4.19 or later kernels) 
all methods show the same (or nearly same) ammount of memory.

on my Epox 4G4A+ i845g Mainboard, which has all the Problems Jens Wiesecke 
has, it's different:
BIOS - Std : 640k (!!)
BIOS - All : 4091M (!!!!)
Probe      : 511M (which seems correct as I have 512 MB Ram and 1 MB is shared 
graphics ram)
