Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to provide full details because, as I
outlined above, I cannot even get a system working well enough to log in
and review dmesg.
For the record:
Hardware is: AMD Athlon XP 1700+ on MSI K7T-266Pro motherboard, 512 MB
Mushkin PC2100 DRAM.
1 WD 80 GB HD, IDE, as hda
1 Pioneer 106S DVD reader as hdc
1 HP CDRW as hdd (ide-scsi under 2.4.x)
Linksys 10/100 ethernet card (tulip driver)
ATI Radeon 7500 video, AGP
Creative SB Value sound card (PCI)
Using 2.6.0-test2, I find that with the kernel_image in sarge, I get a
series of "dma errors" on hdc, followed by errors loading module
lvm_mod, followed by a panic after attempting to kill /sbin/init.
With my own complied 2.6.0-test2, I am finally able to boot, but kdm
cannot start. At the login prompt, I cannot log in as the keyboard does
not work. I will review the .config and maybe I made the keyboard a
module and it is not getting loaded.
I d/l'd 2.6.0-test5 from www.kernel.org tonight. That doesn't even
compile, with error:
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x1d553): In function
`register_serial_portandirq`::
undefined reference to `register_serial`
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x1d6ad): In function `wmave_exit':: undefined
reference to `unregister_serial'
I haven't even begun to look at the source yet to see if I can figure
that one out.
I'd be happy to post my .config files if anyone has the time to look
through them.
Oh yes, I am running sarge. gcc version is 3.3.1 20030626 Debian
prerelease.
