I have a rh9 installation, grub is properly configured, and when I select
to boot a 2.5 kernel it does not even decompress it. It stops even before
printing the kernel version.
What am I doing wrong?

Got the same starting with 2.5.67...
I took the .config from the booting 2.5.66, made a 2.5.67 kernel,
and when booting, booh :-(
It was a RH8 base, Lilo... I'll try tonite to find out which option
is responsible of that...

You have to get
CONFIG_INPUT=y, CONFIG_VT=y and CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
inorder for you to see anything =)

There was also a thread about 1 week ago that indicated that
if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=<some very large number here>,
the kernel won't boot and won't tell you why.
E.g., if someone sets CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT to a buffer size in bytes
(or KB) instead of a shift value, it causes a very large log buffer
declaration and that's about all she wrote.

OK.. Can we *please* fix the 2.5.68 Kconfig to default these 3 values
so we don't have to keep saying this? The embedded people that want
'n' or 'm' can type it themselves. ;)

Yes, I guess I have that, as I'm using the .config from a 2.5.66
that was booting quite fine...
Anyhow, you are right, maybe that moving .config from a release to
another one is not 100% safe...

Paul

Gosh !!! You are right.... How stupid I am !!!
I wanted to increase the log size I saw without thinking it
was a SHIFT... So I moved from 16 to 32, dreaming it was a move
from 16K to 32K...
Sh*t.... I read that on the list a few days ago, laught a lot, and
now I'm cooked ;-(

Paul

Common mistake i guess - but dude, never move old .config files to new
kernel dirs - patch the kernel, review the config (make menuconfig) and
recompile!

Are you sure that Grub is configured correctly? Have you tried older
2.5 kernels until you find one that works?

I had to disable APIC support in order to be able to boot 2.5.67-mm2.
Don't know if this is your case, but I think it's worth trying :-)

After fixing these parametres (make oldconfig did not set them), I still
cannot boot 2.5.68. I've tried it with pci=noapci and also with apci=off,
as the boot message suggestes.
I have a Dell Latitude Laptop with a Xircom Cardbus ethernet + modem card.
If I boot with the card inserted booting stops like this:
........
socket status = 30000006
Even SysRq does not work.
If I remove it I see:
socket status = 30000020
Intel PCIC probe: not found.
Unable to open initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
Here SysRq works.
I assume it must be a FAQ but cannot find it.

That's a known bug with pcmcia - Russel posted a fix which seems to be in:

Linus isn't particularly enthralled with the fix there, so I'm working on
a replacement version. (Hell, I'm not that happy with that fix either,
but it does fix the problem.)
The replacement version is something I was planning on doing anyway, just
that its happening earlier than I really wanted it.

How about an "ugly patches" repository? Some central place for patches
which solve problems but are not esthetically pleasing. There would be
multiple benefits; those who want a fix and don't care if it will go
forward can get their system working, the ugly patch will remain as a flag
that the problem needs to be properly fixed, and the content of the patch
may help someone else understand and beautify the solution or come up with
a whole new solution based on better understanding.
