I think I've discovered what's causing the hang, but haven't had time to dig into it. It seems that the video card (huh?!) is the problem.
lspci -v shows this with the 2.6.28 kernel booted up.... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV4 [RIVA TNT] (rev 04) ( Subsystem: VISIONTEK Device 0020 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9 Memory at f5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=16M] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 1 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 1.0 Kernel driver in use: rivafb ---------------------------------------------------------------- On a whim I dropped in a low end VESA PCI card and 2.6.26 boots right up. Put the Nvidia Riva back in, and the hang returns. And people wonder why I have ulcers. :) D. C.
