kernel-2.5.74 has great support for nForce but I couldn't get it to
boot,
just stops after uncompressing Linux. No error messages.
There are some docs to help you on this part.
Apparently it was none of the below. Upgrading to kernel-2.6.0-test1 made it work fine with the same .config
- cnb
The 2.5+ versions have made many things that we take for granted (like console support) optional, and unselected by default.
So, there's no support for the console, keyboard, mouse etc. Also, the layout of the HDD partitions in /dev has changed, so either you choose the 'legacy' option, or modify your /etc/fstab to have entries like /dev/disks/... etc.
See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt for good/complete
details.
Thanks to it, I'm running 2.6.0-test1 ...
