Booting Problems in the 2.5 series!
Hello all!
I was just wondering, do you have to do something magical to get the 2.5 series booting, or is it just my debian thats fubar? :)
I've tried 2.5.66 and 2.5.67 and they both halt on the initial line of booting - 'Booting Linux, Uncompressing something...' or something like that.
My system is Debian SID
Athlon 2800+
1gb mem and so forth and so forth although that shouldn't really matter that much
Ohhh, and another question - Is it generally a good idea to use make-kpkg to compile the 2.5 series?

If you want to use modules, you'll need the new module utilities.

If it's failing that early, then something is wrong with the kernel, or your hardware. Try earlier kernels until you find one that works, then post the details, along with things like the output of lspci -v -v -v.

Hey I figured it out @ help from crimsum
I didn't have the CONFIG_VT=y and CONFIG_INPUT=y set and i didn't have the new modutils for the 2.5 series installed!
Thx
