--->Detailed Report

[1.] Linux freezes after Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel (no numlock posssible)

[2.] Wheter I boot with initrd or without, with incompiled reiserfs or as module or in the initrd I've tried everything
the system freezes after the above given line. I've the same system as desktop system (the problem occurs on the 'server')
which works fine (Celeron 400 on a Siemens Board with BX440 Chipset, SCSI, 197 Meg RAM)

So what can I do?

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
!!!!!!! Bootet with an other Kernel!!!!!!! as I can't boot with the 2.4.9 Linux version 2.4.4-4GB ([email protected]) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (Su1

[7.7.] I think it is a standard system it worked over 4 years now :) I've made a memory check which has brought no relevant results :(

Salutations Thomas Hoppe

P.s. I've tried no other kernels before, just the SuSE standard 2.4.4 Kernel, which still works.

Firstly check you built a kernel for pentium or lower processors, secondly check you included console support - otherwise it may well be running but without any console for you to tell

In reply to RAPHEAD

Do you use LILO?
What you describe happens if you replace the image file but don't run "lilo" again.
check that you haven't forgot that bit :)
