I have a Fedora 9 installation. The initial kernel worked fine. Then I did a yum update and one of the new updates was a new kernel, but when I tried to reboot with that kernel it won't do anything. The same exact thing happens with the latest kernel in yum.
If I take the vga= line out of my grub command I can get the following:
That's it, nothing else. No HD activity, nothing. If I leave the vga= line in there then after grub I just get a blank screen.
Here's my grub.conf..
I've tried with both the UUID= gunk and the /dev/whatever stuff as well. Both do the same exact thing.
I took out the rhgb (I'm guessing some redhat thing) and quiet arguments. It hangs after about a second at:
I remember something similar happening when I tried to use an i386 boot dvd when I first built the computer. Then I used an x86_64 one and it worked fine. Never gave it a second thought, maybe the two things are related somehow.
so the kernel gets loaded and decompressed. it starts booting an freezes.
that urgently points to a problem with the new kernel on your hardware. maybe a bug or hardware problem. try an alternate kernel. Sometimes it happens that a system runs fine on some harware until U update the kernel where a new driver uses a buggy feature.
I've tried 3 different kernels now. The same result for 2.6.26/27, only 2.6.25 is able to boot for some reason. I'm leaning towards a HW problem as well, but kinda need to narrow it down. The thing is that it hangs immediately. I don't get any real useful debugging information.

Hi All,
Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff.
Cheers,
