Hi I created a kernel using the target as allyesconfig. The machine fails to bootup (just hangs with 100% cpu utilization) with message "Booting the kernel" If I use the config from a distro and create the kernel image, it boots fine.. Apart from the fact that allyesconfig will create a bulky kernel image and loads lots of drivers that are not needed, what could be other reasons why this would fail.. I have 8GB RAM and AMD Quad code.. For above testing, I used QEMU command as below >>qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0 -initrd test.cpio.gz Regards Rajaneesh PS: Config file has been created using allyesconfig, hence not attached.. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
