 Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 8:29 am Post subject: Can no longer boot with mm or love-sources |
 |
|
I've got no idea why...
but mm-sources and love-sources no long boot for me. I can boot development-sources though.
With love/mm I select it from grub then the monitor just goes to standby imediately while it resets and grub comes back up again.
Anyone have a clue what happened to my computer? I just ditrched udev and went back to devfs if that helps. Maybe I need to recompile something? |

check that your architecture gets supported in kernel config. the syntax changed recently, it's now make menuconfig -> Proc. type & features -> Processor support.
Also notice the "After hitting enter at the grub menu the system reboots" section in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122656 |

Yep. That's all set right.
Some of these kernels that have refused to boot are ones I had been using before.
I suspect it is /dev related somehow. I was using udev016 then I decided to ditch it and go back to devfs. After that any love/mm kernel wouldn't boot.
I tried backing devfs out of the kernel and re-emerging udev but it still wouldn't work.
Now I am stuck using a vanilla 2.6.2 until I can figure out what it going on. |

Hmmm.
Now I just tried to play am mp3 and xmms sagfaults. Recompiling doesn't make it work.
Something is really screwed up here.
I may just resort to a reinstall. |

Pixie, did you compile your kernels using genkernel? I had a very similar sounding problem when I was setting up my sony laptop using the latest experimental stages. I discovered that if I included initrd in grub then it would continually reboot/loop. The genkernel in question was 3.0.1_beta9.
Now I don't know if there is a problem with genkernel, but that's the feeling I'm getting in me water...

No. I always do them manually.
I took a kernel that wouldn't boot and copied it to the partition I am using for testing out how a system compiled mostly with ICC/IFC and it worked fine.
I tried a few mm-sources and love-sources versions. None worked. xmms was also refusing to work at all and I was getting other weird problems.
I gave up trying to fix it. Just reinstalling now. No big problem. I have my iMac to use while it is compiling everything. I think I'll just leave the stupid experimental things out of my main install from now. |

sounds like somethings were broken.
I always use devfs in my kernels and havn't had problems.
Were you using gcc-3.4 with agressive CFLAGS? |

GCC3.4 yes. But the CFLAGS were just -march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer.
All had been working well for weeks until the udev-devfs switch. |

it gets weirder....
new install. same thing is happening. yet my other gentoo install on the computer is working fine.
i fear for my hard disk now. maybe I've fried a bit of it somehow.
unless there is something in the current ~x86 packages borking my system. the ICC/IFC testig install I have is all 'stable'.
gah. this is getting annoying. |
