I can't get 2.5.59 to boot on my dual tualatin/via PRO266T system. It hangs early in the boot-process, I don't see anything after the 'Uncompressing the kernel' line. The keyboard led's stuck then as well, and waiting doesn't help.

gcc -v:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,proto,pascal,objc,ada --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.2 --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-objc-gc i386-linux Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2 20030109 (Debian prerelease)

this gcc worked with 2.5.58, BTW, and the .config below worked also. I've tried removing preempt (worked with 2.5.58), framepointer (worked with 2.5.58) - but 2.5.59 won't boot. Any hints?

Thanks,
Jurriaan

And if people want to take off their clothes and chase one another, it
certainly wouldnt hurt morale around here.

I can't get 2.5.59 to boot on my dual tualatin/via PRO266T system. It hangs early in the boot-process, I don't see anything after the 'Uncompressing the kernel' line. The keyboard led's stuck then as well, and waiting doesn't help.

People have problems after recent changes in vmlinux.lds.

Try apply the vmlinux patch from Andrew's set of patches:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.59/2.5.59-mm2/

Usually report is an oops, but that may be UP only.

No change, both 2.5.59-mm2 and 2.5.59 + the mm2 vmlinux patch hang just in the same way.

This is on a Debian/Unstable system, btw.

I have the same problem here, I tried 2.5.59 + vmlinux.patch. I'm Debian/testing. BTW, 2.5.58 didn't go further too.
