Re: [leaf-user] problem booting on soekris net5501-70

[Graziano B. <gra...@ou...>]

Hi Erik,

are there some different selections about CPU settings in kernel config 
files with the 5.2.5 version?

Yesterday i have tried with a GEODE version 5.2.4 and my system has 
booted correctly. My opinion is that the problem may be related to a 
kernel's hang in 5.2.5 boot procedure, but i'm not sure about this.
I will try to test booting from 5.2.5 or 5.2.6-rc1 using a different 
kernel o(486 for example) on monday, when i will come back to my office.

Ciao

G.
