Hi,I'm trying to get a 2.4 kernel booting on an Enterprise 2 with 2 CPUs. The trick is that I'm using a serial console, and have no graphical card inside the box. When booting (either 2.4.10-smp from unstable Debian or 2.4.14 compiled on the box itself after d/l from ftp.kernel.org), boot process starts ok : Remapping the kernel... done. Booting Linux... Starting CPU 1... OK Then stops with no output and sending break doesn't fall back to the "{0} ok " prompt. Appending something like "serial" or "console=/dev/ttyS0" doesn't help. Any idea anyone?
I can suggest you something.. try booting a non-smp kernel and if possible a 2.2 series. I noticed some problem using the console port to monitor the boot process on 2.4 also on i386 machine. I din't investigate the problem to much since it was more for fun.
