Apparently there were issues with rc5-git2. I downloaded the source for rc5-git7, so I could compare apples-to-apples with the rc5-git7 default kernel. I performed the same build procedure, and had only one minor issue. Now all is well. Curiously the rc5-git7 'make install' did not generate an initrd file, like rc5-git2 did. (The one minor issue: The entries that 'make install' added to my lilo.conf file were missing their 'initrd=' lines.) Next step: I'll try building with the CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G option. Additional information:
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep pae shows pae in the flags right? AFAIK otherwise the kernel should not boot at all... yes
- The battery status is "present" (0xF), do you really see "not present" for BAT1? Something is really fishy... Double checked: # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state present: no
Did I ask that already: Did a -pae kernel ever worked on that machine?
I have never had a -pae kernel function correctly on this machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
