More 2.6.15-r1 problems [No longer relevant]

I have a intel 2100 card and followed the instructions in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw2100 regarding the 2.6.15-r1 kernel.

I only tried the first solution on the page - not the udev stuff later in the article..to noob for that

But alas - the machine now hangs in various random places during the boot procedure (I tried 3 times with the machine hanging at 3 different places totally unrelated to networking...).

I have tried adding hotplug to default runlevel as someone suggest further down in the wiki but no cigar...

Ideas?

It seems a hardware problem.

Go to BIOS and check that you have an Plug'n'Pray(R) OS, and/or disable ACPI

You can also try to boot without the hardware (the card) installed to track it more.

Also would be good to post the last kernel logs ....

As my initial reason to upgrade was to make gnome 2.12 happy I decided to downgrade to 2.6.14-r5.

All is well now

How very much like me to run into a funky kernel the first time I ever tried a kernel upgrade :lol:

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
