Hello,
I used Slackware 10.1, all packages at day. And for two week I test to
use the 2.6.11 kernel.
I tested to make my config, to use ma old config (make oldconfig)... (Now
i've a kernel 2.6.9 with my own config, it works.)
And linux hangs after "freeing unused kernel memory". I found a lot of
threads on the web but I didn't find a answer.
Somebody can help me ?
Thanks.
CAMPESATO JeanBaptiste

Can it start init? Very often, the problem is in the fact that the
kernel can't find /sbin/init on the root partition, and so it can't boot
the whole system.

I don't see INIT "2.84" (i'm not sure for the version). But my 2.6.9
kernel works, if the 2.6.9 can execute the init, why the 2.6.11 can't
execute init ?
Thanks for your help.

Missing kernel support for you filesystem/HDD/[udev/devfs]?

I've
<*> Ext3 journalling file system support[*] Ext3 extended attributes
[ ] Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists
[ ] Ext3 Security Labels
But i don't find support for udev in make menuconfig or in the .config
file.

My .config is here if you want to see : http://www.a2lf.org/config
Thanks.

If you have a working 2.6.9 kernel and a 2.6.11 kernel that doesn't work,
it would be interesting to see the diff of the .config files.

It's the same config now.
Make oldconfig.
And the same options..
Strange.
Thanks

That's bad. There are new options in 2.6.11.
Try to 'make oldconfig', say n to all new things, see if the problem
prevails.

Make sure you have configured and installed the boot loader correctly.

Do you use an initrd?

Can you give more clues about your boot proces?

Ypors,

You don't answer questions or give any information, you don't try what
I suggest, so I cannot help you and don't want to.
