Can anyone throw any light on this?
9.0 boots normally, with 2.4.21-215-athlon. However 9.1, newly installed to a spare partition, loads via GRUB and hangs for exactly 2 minutes as far as I can tell, before proceeding to boot quite normally. This hang also affects the DVD boot process, I believe.
If I use the default Linux entry in GRUB, installed by 9.1, the screen goes blank, for the 2 minutes before the spalsh screen is loaded. On failsafe boot, it halts with the following showing on screen:
kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb7 ide=nodma apm=off acpi-off vga=normal no resume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size-0x16538f] initrd (hd0,4)/initrd [Linux-initrd@0xdeb0000, 0x13f1d8 bytes]
Google does not offer much useful.
Hardware is TYAN s2460, with single athlon 1500MP and 512MByte, Matrox G450DH and Adaptec 29160 adapter
Ideas?
Thanks
