I can still boot 4.0.5 fine, with the same setup. I use lilo, and I
checked that I changed the two/four digits correctly in /etc/lilo.conf.
By chance I left the boot sit there for more than the typical minute,
and got multiple messages like
INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 3} (t=60000 jiffies g=-256
c=-257 q=193)
rcu_sched kthread starved for 50027 jiffies!
right after the above "Booting the kernel." line.
Do I need to activate a different kind of clocking or a CPU feature in
4.1.x?
