I have tried several configurations,all pretty similar, the last one i tried was for 2.6.37-r5 which was successful,but not with 2.6.38/2.6.37-2,7. I have not had hassles previously with this config. But it started with 2.6.37,the kernel builds & installs ok but reboot just gives me a hung computer with the keyboard lock led alight & no responsiveness. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.configure kernel with genkernel,build kernel with genkernel 2.restart computer 3.lockup Actual Results: computer restarts runs through startup procedure,select kernel screen,screen goes blank system locked up Expected Results: should have booted into kernel and run the system I think that it's not reading the initramfs for some reason But in any case I recompiled & installed manually, with the same final result

I have borrowed my .config from my x86_64 athlon and modified to suit the x86, this compile was totally successful.I am using it now,What baffles me is itis almost identical to the configs I have used previously. Can some one point me to a use of a unix tool to compare the both configs ,in a (dumb)user readable manner it will be appreciated,as I would like to not make this mistake in the future. Geoff

A difference in your new config is the lack of "CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=y". Your report sounds very much like this one: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35374

I will try to commit to Memory the debug feature for the x86. But it's complicated this end as I have different gui cards for the each machine ATI for x86_64 and NV5M64 for the x86 both have AMD processors,but of different ages. I probably should just resort to one machine make life simpler HI. Geoff
