This is the original post where I commented about the issue with this machine: http://marc.info/?l=ssic-linux-users&m=128409498003227&w=2 I decided it's was a better idea to create a new thread for it, but I forgot to mention that I could not get any error from the boot: the machine starts booting OpenSSI kernel, the screen gets black and the machine is rebooted. The machine get into a infinite looping because of that, always rebooting. My guess is because the kernel of OpenSSI is for 686 systems, so that's why I'm trying to compile the kernel to match it's processor. I can boot with the original kernel from Debian, which was compiled for 386 processors. Anyway, it's only a guess because I really don't think about any other test that could be done in such situation. I would appreciate any help with that. Thanks in advance, Alceu |
