Hello, I recently upgraded my system to a K6/166. I booted with /kernel.GENERIC so that I could recompile my kernel with "i586_CPU" defined. The newly compiled kernel only booted as far as the probe messages. No error messages or panics occurred; the system just sat there after probing the hardware. I rebooted to GENERIC again and tried a debugging kernel. It stopped at the same point in the booting process. Hitting the hot key brought me into the debugger. Since I'm a complete novice at using the kernel debugger, this route wasn't too enlightening. I also tried recompiling a new GENERIC kernel (the one I was using was from last October.) The new GENERIC kernel stopped at the same point, too. I've tried compiling kernels with various drivers removed. I've disabled drivers from the visual config editor. Nothing lets a 2.2.5 kernel boot (my working GENERIC kernel is 2.2.2-ish -- maybe even 2.2.1-ish!) Windows95 works an this hardware, as does the old GENERIC kernel. I have a K6 (stepping 9741 (?)), 64MB of SDRAM, Intel-TX chipset. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
