Hello All,

I checked on three posts relating to this but was unable to get a working solution after having tried.

Suffice it to say, all the kernels Ive tried wont make it past freeing unused kernel memory.
when I ctrl-alt-del it says stopping all md devices.

kernel
2.2.14
2.2.16
2.2.17
2.4.0 compiled on a pentium 133 mmx processor

the other three kernels were from installs of redhat 6.2 7.0 and mandrake 7.2 on other systems.

I was getting a kernel panic on boot unable to mount root fs but I did as the other threads suggested and did an hdb=noprobe and got to the freeing unused kernel memory.
When it should be saying blah blah init Vx.xx

it just stops there, no hd activity. and when I do the reboot ctrl-alt delete I get the stopping all md devices.

I compiled and installed the newest version on lilo and that went fine, I know it is using the new lilo, because it blew away the redhat 7.0 lilo-gui-screen and went to the lilo prompt we have all come to love

Any linux gurus out there have any ideas. I have this great idea for my IO but cant get linux to boot.

drop me a line here on this thread or at my email jceven@ucdavis.edu

more info:

6 gig IBM laptop drive, did an install of redhat 7 on my p3 system onto that drive, and compiled abd installed the latest lilo into its MBR.

thanks,
Joel

The problem is probably that either glibc and/or the kernel were installed with i686 optimizations. Manually install the i386 rpms.
