I'm not even sure that this is the correct home for this question but sure it's worth a punt. I'm running OpenSUSE on a netbook and use it to compile and install the latest kernel from Linus's git repo. This has always been a simple operation pulling the latest, updating the config file, make and install. A few versions ago I hit a snag in that once installed the new kernel would show up in the grub2 menu but once selected for boot the machine would just go to a blank screen and hang. I'd have to do a hard reset. I can't be specific on which version this started happening on as the problem is intermittent. It seems to be a race condition sometimes a kernel will boot and sometimes it won't. I thought I could investigate this issue but I can't find any debug info for this problem at all. grub2 is happy as it's handed control over to the kernel but there's no evidence of any kernel activity in the logs at all for the requested boot. So the reason for this post is to ask if anybody could suggest how to debug this issue. I think it came in about 3.14 but like I say it's intermittent. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
