I'm attempting to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 to
2.6.27-gentoo-r5 and have run into a snag.
With the 2.6.25 kernel, the boot proces displays
...[stuff]...
Loading modules
... libata ...
... scsi_wait_scan ...
... ahci ...
... sg ...
... ehci-hcd ...
... usb-storage ...
... uhci-hcd ...
... ohci-hcd ...
Activating mdev
With the 2.6.27 kernel, after displaying "Loading modules" and its
related messages, the "Activating mdev" message never appears and the
boot process is stopped.
Anybody know what's wrong?
FWIW, the mobo is an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI with an AMD64 X2 5000+ CPU and
8GB ram. The 2.6.25 kernel is new as I've just upgraded from an IDE HD
to SATA. The 2.6.27 configuration was generated from the 2.6.25
configuration using "make oldconfig".
Regards,
David
