I've built the latest kernel and installed it. When I attempt to boot this kernel I get: restarting system Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so it helps to remove the 'quiet' option from the boot process. So, it does appear to attempt to reboot, but after a flood of messages I get the 'restarting system' message, so I can't really see what the issue might be. Anyone know of a way to capture the boot output, or a way to stop the machine from automatically restarting? -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin |

Have a pointer to a howto or some > such? > it's easy: First load a good kernel (so you can boot into your system) then git clone linus's tree. make compile install, reboot if you hit your problem then reboot with the good kernel. change to the source tree of linus's git (that's giving you this issue) then do: git bisect start then tell git bisect the bad kernel to the good i.g. git bisect bad (either leave blank for present or do v2.6.*) then git bisect good v2.6.31-rc* (to the last good kernel). then git bisect will start with it's first commit (now make the kernel, no need to look for a patch, as git has already done this for you). then reboot with the kernel(linus's git) that your bisecting if you hit the problem, then reboot into the good kernel change into linus's tree and do: git bisect bad then git bisect will give you another commit to try. make the kernel reboot and see if you bootup. when you finally boot up without issues do git bisect good save the results and post it to lkml. see not so bad(just use a small .config or else you spend a lifetime compiling) Justin P.
