Dear list,
There is something seriously wrong with this kernel release.
It compiles - but will not boot all the way. It hangs somewhere.
I even tried to boot into single user mode. I never get to the shell
prompt when booting in single user mode, nor to the
gnome login banner when letting it boot in multiuser mode.
After some 30-45 minutes I Ctrl-Alt_Del and the kernel
pops the message
Stopping all md devices
..
and the pc reboots.
I did not have this problem with these kernels
2.6.29.6-213.fc11
2.6.29.5-191.fc11
Are there others who have tried to build 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11
from source rpm and configured the kernel in any way before
building?
Did you see any errors when running make modules_install
as I did? Did the resulting kernel boot up all the way?
If you need more info, please let me know.
The main piece of information you appear to have missed off is the
modifications you have made in your build. I would suggest the
following for further reading:
