Sometimes looks like the system just freezes for a while, and then it continues the boot process. Rebooting also seems problematic here. After almost 3 minutes I had asked the system to reboot, it was still there. I typed reboot again and it then rebooted right away, weirdly. I wonder if this relates to my 2.6.25 booting problem: I use lilo, v22.5.9, and with 2.6.25 the boot process stalls part way through, then retries, etc for up to six attempts before succeeding. When I can get the latest lilo to compile I'll try that, but I'm not holding my breath. I get a display like "LILO............." and then the hang. It is about 14 dots, normally about twice that many before I get a new line and a message about BIOS check succeeding. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
