OK, I think I configured a debug kernel. I used the
config, make depend, make, make install procedure.
make depend took about 20 min, make took about 1 hr 20 min.
I did a soft reboot: shutdown -h now, hit any key to reboot,
hit space at count down, booted with command "boot -v".
As before the system proceeded to the "isa0:" line and then
locked up. At this point I tried Ctrl-Alt-Esc to enter the
debugger, but nothing happened. It seems to be too locked
up for the debugger.
Maybe I could try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Esc before it gets to
the "isa0:" line and stepping through the code up to the
error?
Any suggestions?
Cla.
