Roman, et al, since you, and maybe others seem to be incredibly hot to |
| 2 |
trot on my desktop booting issue, the files you requested are at |
| 3 |
|

<http://www.fmp.com/~fmouse/vishnu/> |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
/etc/fstab (vishnu_fstab.txt) is configured as per the _working_ kernel |
| 7 |
on the box, which is 2.6.21-gentoo-r1. When booting from a more recent |
| 8 |
kernel, the 1st three lines will be changed to spec /dev/sdXn instead |
| 9 |
of /dev/hdXn. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The kernel config (vishnu_kernel-2.6.29-gentoo-r5_config.txt) is suspect |
| 12 |
at this point, as per Roman's information re. 2.6.29 being a thoroughly |
| 13 |
discredited kernel version. This configuration will _not_ be used going |
| 14 |
forward into a more recent kernel. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
vishnu_emerge_info.txt is "emerge --info" from the box. I'm not sure |
| 17 |
how this will give you any insight into the booting problem on the box, |
| 18 |
but since you seem to have your knickers in a knot about my _not_ |
| 19 |
posting it, here it is :-) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Kernels on the box are built manually, using "make bzImage" and friends, |
| 22 |
not using genkernel. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
When I have some time to take the box down, upgrade the kernel and take |
| 25 |
another shot at this problem, I'll update. |
