At boot time, after the "INIT: version 2.84 booting", booting goes well until it tries to load modules: * Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 as config: * Loading module #... * Failed to load # [!!] This is the first error I get, which seems pretty basic so I guess it somehow is my fault, but I cannot begin to guess how ... because until here I only hit <return> one time to accept the standard kernel without any option. The booting continues a bit until: * Caching service dependencies... * The 'parallel' modifier can only take 'yes' or 'no' as argument! * Please fix this in the 'net' service. There follows an error about: /sbin/depscan.sh: line 52: Done 956 .... And some more errors which are generated by the shell ending in: * Failed to cache service dependencies. [!!] And after that it stops. I can't do anything but to reboot the computer via hardware reset. It seems to be independant from the chosen kernel parameters but of. course I coulnd't test every combination. It 'worked' for every one I tried. Any suggestions?? Currently I'm loading the universal iso (not minimal that is) and I'll try it with that one too. Thx for any input :) Hagen.
Sorry, I forgot that buzilla has this pre tag. Ill wrap it myself next time :)
I didn't remember I had this bug posted. Well it turned out to be a hardware error. The fpu was fused and somehow it crashed all other systems as well. Sadly the no387 option doesn't work for livecd kernels.
