Hi, I have RHEL 4 AS installed on my desktop PC (INTEL Pentium D processor). My RHEL distribution has 2.6.9-34Smp kernel. I tried to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.20, for this I downloaded 2.6.20 kernel, compile it and install it (using make, make modules_install and make install). But on rebooting and running my new kernel hangs. I have tried to debug the issue and on adding prints to init/main.c file, I found that kernel is hanging somewhere inside the 'init' program present in the ramdisk. I have added some prints in 'arch/i386/process.c- sys_execv' it shows that 'init' program is also runs. Please give me pointer to debug further Thanks, nandac -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
