LFS 6.2 HP Omnibook 2100 (laptop) Pentium II (MMX) 32 MB (RAM), expanded to maximum of 160 MB using memory modules 4.1 GB (HD) 3-Com 10/100 LAN+ 56K Cardbus Modem (Floppy drive OR the CD-ROM drive connects to a plug-in module bay.)
Hello, I am a newbie who has finally reached Section 9.3 (Rebooting the System) of LFS 6.2. I followed the book's suggestion to install Lynx, GPM and Dhcpcd, did the umounts, and proceeded to reboot with “shutdown -r now” As the machine shuts down, I get two messages that may or may not be part of the problem: “Stopping dhcpcd on the eth0 interface - LEASEINFO Test Failed! - dhcpcd is not running [WARN]” “No reboot fixup found for your hardware” GRUB then starts and, after printing out a few lines that I am unable to pause to read, hangs at: Call Trace: [<c012bf49>] get_page_from_freelist+0x221/0x28e [<c012c004>] __alloc_pages+0x4e/0x27e [<c012c265>] get_zeroed_page+0x31/0x4c [<c03da534>] pidmap_init+0xb/0x36 [<c03d026c>] start_kernel+0xe1/0x24f Code: 89 c7 b8 00 e0 ff ff 21 e0 f7 40 14 00 ff ff 0f 74 0c 31 c0 b9 00 04 00 00 fc f3 ab eb 3e e8 05 a4 f6 ff 0f ef c0 b8 40 00 00 00 <0f> e7 07 0f e7 47 08 0f e7 47 10 0f e7 47 18 0f e7 47 20 0f e7 <0>Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! I have tried the following unsuccessful ideas: 1. Recompiling the kernel to include PCCard (PCMCIA/CardBus) support. 2. Removing the 3-Com card from the machine and recompiling to exclude PCCard support. 3. Recompiling the kernel to include Advanced Power Management (APM) support. 4. Disabling APM support in the BIOS and recompiling the kernel to not include APM. 5. Rebooting with the floppy drive inserted, instead of the CD-ROM drive. I have Googled, searched threads, etc., but am still stuck, so would be most grateful if someone could give me some ideas about what might be the problem or point me to a source of information that could help.
