But currently I have no idea why the boot fails. 2.4.26 is _very_ old and insecure and obsolete and not supported by the community at all. I suggest contacting the vendor that forces you to use that kernel and getting support from them as they are the only ones that really know what is in your kernel tree. Good luck! greg k-h
