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

This sounds like boot sequence to me have you checked your bios settings since the install of 9.1
Not had chance to try 9.1 yet next week maybe now .

You are in the right sort of area. I have poked at all kinds of settings in the BIOS. Makes no difference. 9.0 continues to boot normally, 9.1 obstinates for 2 minutes. If I had some sort of clue, I would poke at the BIOS intelligently...
