Description Bruno Vieira 2004-09-24 16:57:58 UTC
When using a kernel generated with genkernel my toshiba 4600 pro hangs up at boot (showing caps lock blinking, kernel panic?), right after loading kernel image.
I have tested similar configurations with vanilla sources, and the system works fine, so i concluded the problem is in gentoo-sources kernel.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest 2.4.x kernel (with gkernel) 
2. Boot it
3. 

Actual Results:  
The laptop hangs up, showing caps lock blinking (kernel panic?), i can't see any
messages because the image hangs up.

Expected Results:  
Shoul be booting the system, and i should see kernel messages on the screen, and
after that init scripts loading.

Hrm, I can't do much unless I can see the kernel panic - could you somehow capture it over a serial cable or net console?

Please reopen with requested info. We're going to need to see the oops.

I will use a serial console to get the output, sory the delay.
