(usagi-users 03728) Re: Problems with USAGI kernel

Dear USAGI folk,

Thanks for your help.

GRUB prints out its info from grub/menu.lst correctly, then comes the 
uncompress, then boot, then nothing.

I've done many make xconfig's, the last using a different computer, with 
slightly different peripherals.

Vz.:

make mrproper
make xconfig (or make gconfig)
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install
mkinitrd

I do get errors about non-existent intermediate files and lack of 
dependencies for drivers in mkinitrd, but no absolute failures.

I've worked with kernel code before, so if anyone has suggestions about 
what to look for, I could try patches.
It could be something messy, like hardware the kernel isn't prepared 
for. The newer commodity PCs have new hardware attached.

Tx,
tim
