2.5.69 just doesn't boot (neither does anything > .67)

[Brett]

Subject says it all, really

so does my previous mail on the topic

<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105099066618652&w=2>

I don't even get to "Uncompressing linux"

just a blank screen, baby, with grub lines at the top

please, can't someone give me a hand here ??

thanks,

	/ Brett

How about providing some possibly useful information such as grub
version, machine type, etc.

unless they fix the source compilation problem i reported
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3343&group_id=68>
then i can't install it

and anyway, can you provide any backup that this will fix it ?? what 
changed between 2.5.66 and 2.5.67 to stop grub loading the kernel ? why 
hasn't anyone else reported this ???

i'm just highly dubious that upgrading grub one revision will help

and it isn't something i can do right now anyway

thanks,

0.92 is over a year old and a lot has changed since then. Debian has
grub 0.93 packages which work fine with 2.5.67-69 for me, you could try
that.

You can always install manually.

I couldn't boot 2.5 at all until I upgraded an ancient grub. Having
a recent bootloader is never a bad thing though, and 0.92 is pretty
old.

I agree, but like i said
it fails to compile
the developers have not responded to my bug report
the cvs copy i checked out still has the same problem

i fail to see what more i can do

And as I already said, Debian has binaries you can use on your system.

0.92 is successfully booting 2.5.6[89] here, and 0.93 (Debian or
upstream) fails to boot on most of my machines here.

YMMV, of course, but 0.92 works for me.
