The time I've had this problem is when I compiled the 2.6.0-test1 code with
Debian's gcc-3.3.1. When I recompiled with gcc-2.95.4, also Debian, it
booted with no problem. Gcc-3.3.1 *has* worked with everything from -ac1 on.
These have all been with the same basic configuration, ie console enabled and
keyboard compiled in. The system also needs to have pci=noacpi in the boot
parameters to get it to work properly.
Just for completeness here is the main hardware of my machine
CPU AMD Athlon XP 2100+, Palomino core IIRC
Motherboard ABit KR7A-133R, which uses the VIA KT266A chipset.
Memory Crucial 512MB DDR PC2100
.config files attached for 2.6.0-test1 and 2.6.0-test1-bk2
