Hi everyone, yes, I know, 32-bit is no more suopporred, but maybe one can answer my questions though.
I have a netbook EEEPC with kali-linux. Everything works fine, but since the change from kernel 5.4 to higher version, I noticed the strange behaviour, that the kernel wil not boot very time. For me it looks like the kernel itself boots, then the initrd is started to load and then the system hangs. Say: Looks like the load of the initrd hangs. I have to switch off the device, then start again. This happens so 2 - 3 times, and then it boots. At this early moments of the boot process I also can not see, what happens. The logs also give no information. Is this a hardware incompability somehow? The device only has 2GB RAM. Rhe only unusual I found in the BIOS was the point "CPU-ID" enable/disable, but this shall only effect WindowsXP. So far so well, my questions: 1. is this issue known? 2. Is there any parameter I can add to the kernel to avoid this hangs? (Itried ecc=off with no succes) 3. Is there any way, to write a log, as soon as the kernel starts? (I suppose not, because at that moment, there are still no partitions mounted. Where shall it write to except to RAM or /boot partition?). Folks, if no one knows or you think, 32-bit is not worth to think of, no problem! This issue is not a big deal and booting 2 or 3 tries is no big deal, too. I can well live with this issue! In the other case: Thanks for your help! Best Hans
