Re: Boot problem in squeeze, hang after Booting the kernel
I tried the 2.6.30 kernel you suggested, now it tries to boot, but I get a kernel panik after trying to mount the root. I cannot make out too much but I have console output which I do not have with the regular 2.6.32 kernel. I suspect they hang at the same place though, with the difference of the output o the screen, ( only if using the debug flag ) ... I get some messages about popullating the foot fs, and vfs, after that whe I get to kernel init its game over. I cannot scroll backwards with shift-pageup ... in order to see what happens when it fail, and if I could get some output I could try to diagnose. Any ide´a on how to proceed ? The biggest problem seems to be that it panics when mounting the root fs. But if I could get console output from the 2.6.32 kernel I would know a bit more, I know the i945g graphics chip can be a bit picky Any ideas ? Should I open a bug report ? / regards, Lars Segerlund. 2010/2/14 Frans Pop elen...@planet.nl: On Friday 12 February 2010, Lars Segerlund wrote: I have a Sony Vaio TX3 ( VGN-TX3XT ) , which runs a on an intel celeron ULW, and has a i945g graphics chip.

Re: Boot problem in squeeze, hang after Booting the kernel
Part of the problem found ! I can now get console ouptup from 2.6.32 in the same way as 2.6.30-8 ... the thing is that I found some bad RAM. However the last thing I see is unpacking initrd something After that it dies in the kernel, ( I have the debug flag on ) ... it ends up in the kernel_init something ... ( threads ? ) I have checked the initrd image and it actually looks fine... So , it's probably NOT a bug with the debian kernels ! Any suggestions on how to proceed appreciated ... 2010/2/15 Lars Segerlund lars.segerl...@gmail.com: I tried the 2.6.30 kernel you suggested, now it tries to boot, but I get a kernel panik after trying to mount the root.

Re: Boot problem in squeeze, hang after Booting the kernel
Hello and thanks, I will install 2.6.30 from stable tonight, I have tried 2.6.30 from squeeze both 486 686 ... none boots. I tried debian live ( standard ) yesterday with a 2.6.26 and it boots fine. I have alredy removed the 'quiet' option it still stops at Booting the kernel , I think I have no tty and no disk at this point. I will try the kernel from stable asap. And latest 2.6.32 ..

Boot problem in squeeze, hang after Booting the kernel
Hello, I have a Sony Vaio TX3 ( VGN-TX3XT ) , which runs a on an intel celeron ULW, and has a i945g graphics chip. I have reinstalled with the squeeze install cd, but cannot boot the kernels on the machine. I can get into the machine from the rescue mode on the installer, ( if I chroot into the env. it looks fairly ok ). I can boot memtest86 and memtest86+ from the boot menu on the hd, but not the kernels. I have looked at the initrd and it looks ok, ( atleast it is possible to gunzip, and un cpio it and have a look around ). grub2 reads the initrd image, unpacks the kernel and hans after writing 'Booting the kernel' I have tried noapic nolapic acpi=off no-hlt no-irq nomodeset and most options I can find to the kernel. I suspect it hangs partly into the linux init() function, and if i set vga=788 or vga=777 the text clears and I am greeted with a blank screen ... ( vga=788 is what the installer cd uses ). I have tried linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686, linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-486 , linux-image-2.6.30-trunk-686 to no avail. I suspect I am loosing the display so that I don't get the kernel output, and I don't have a serial port on it. I simply does not know howto continue debugging this, does anyone have any idea? Any help apreciated. Next I will build the kernel from source on the system, and try. / regards, Lars Segerlund. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
