Hello: I've downloaded 2.5.59 kernel to test it ( for fun ). I'm having a strange problem. After compile the kernel ( bzImage, modules and modules_install) I'had put a new entry in my /boot/grub/grub.conf. All Ok. When the machine starts I can select between both kernels, but if I select the 2.5.59 entry, after the 'Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel' the startup stops here. No more messages, no any evident signal of KO, only the booting kernel message. What's the next step after this message? I don't know very well the entire process and wanna know where to start the search :( Info: PIII/700 128 Mg RAM Dell Laptop RedHat 8.0 ( gcc 3.2 ) Running 2.4.18-3 kernel without problems Regards and a lot of TIA -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
