rh9 and 2.5 kernel difficulties
Hello,
I've successfully compiled/installed a 2.5.67 kernel on rh9, and the
modules. The problem is when i boot it grub just hangs, i'm assuming i've compiled everything right, i've read about the keyboard/mouse/monitor issues, but then i got a reference to something to do with modules and compatibility with 2.4, I did not however find this and i'm wondering if that is my problem. Can anyone give me a pointer to all that i need for this? My system has an A7A266 motherboard, and i'm getting an error about i8253 count too high! error message and it was suggested that a 2.5 kernel would resolve this.
Thanks.
Dave.

I've also just installed rh9 and I'm compiling a 2.5.66 kernel right now, so we may share experiences. This will my desktop machine, all important stuff is done on another one but I'll try my kernel patches on it.
To avoid module-related problems and easier booting, I've left everything I need compiled inline and turned off modules. I'm net-booting, so I'm also compiling NFS-root and in-kernel DHCP autoconfig just in case I need it later on.
Will keep the list informed about progress.
Greets, Antonio.
ps. what are the keyboard/mouse/monitor issues???

Well, I assume that when you say "it hangs" you mean "it displays, Uncompressing linux kernel... OK, booting" and then it stays there forever.
Have you tried with the latest BitKeeper (-bk) snapshot available from
http://www.kernel.org? Also, try disabling ACPI and APIC to see if it helps..
