35 Any suggestions for which kernel config options to enable/avoid? I'm
36 playing with 2.6.16-hardened-r9 now, and still not having much luck.
37 After SILO comes up, I get the following:
38
39 boot: selinux
40 Allocated 8 Megs of memory at blah! for kernel
41 Loaded kernel version 2.6.16
42
43 Remapping the kernel... done.
44 Registering callbacks... done.
45 Booting Linux...
46
47 Then it just stops. STOP+a doesn't work (I'm guessing because it's a
48 hardened kernel?). So I power-cycle, boot back into a 2.4 kernel,
49 change a few things, recompile, rinse repeat.
