I don't even see any printk's to the screen; as soon as LILO is finished loading the new kernel, the screen blanks and the BIOS goes through its boot sequence again. Since I seem to be the only one reporting this to LKML, I suspect I'll have to back out various patches to try to track this down. :-P I'm using the same .config as in 2.4.23 with new questions left at their defaults (e.g. XFS=n, OOM_KILLER=n). I've had no problems with this otherwise rock-stable platform for all varieties of 2.4.x, save for some early USB EHCI issues long ago. At work now, so I don't have a full .config handy, but: * Slackware 8.1 based; glibc 2.2.5; gcc 2.95.3 * Soltek SL-75DRV2 (UP, Athlon XP 1700, VIA KT266A [VT8366A/VT8233]) * Root = ext3 on IDE partition * DevFS, DevPTS, IDE-SCSI=cdrom0, USBStorage, USB EHCI, VFAT * RadeonFB, IPTables, Realtek-8139 Everything else in .config is pretty vanilla (e.g. Linus defaults or thereabouts).
