Hi Stephane, I downloaded your latest git kernel (based on 2.6.27-rc2) today and attempted to boot it up. It hangs after switching roots. Looking at a stack trace, we see that it's hanging during the invocation of "hostname". init invokes rc.sysinit which invokes hostname, which hangs during the call to sysexit for some reason.
So I tried downloading and building a raw 2.6.27-rc2 Linus Torvald's kernel and that boots up fine. My next experiment was to disable perfmon2 completely in your kernel, but even with that, it still doesn't boot. Have you tried booting up your rc2 kernel to see if it works? For reference, here's what I'm seeing during boot up: ... Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting Mounting proc filesystem Mounting sysfs filesystem Creating /dev Creating initial device nodes Setting up hotplug. Creating block device nodes. Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys INIT: version 2.86 booting (hangs here) Thanks for your consideration, - Corey -- Corey Ashford Software Engineer IBM Linux Technology Center, Linux Toolchain Beaverton, OR 503-578-3507 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ perfmon2-devel mailing list perfmon2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perfmon2-devel
