Latest working kernel version: 2.6.22-19 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26 Distribution: Hardware Environment: Dell Inspiron 1501, AMD Thurion X2 TL52 Software Environment: grub-0.97-20, linux-2.6.26 Problem Description: Linux kernel hangs at boot time before kernel console shown at black screen without any messages. I tried to build it in different configurations, but it does not help. 2.6.22 build by hand is work fine, but 2.6.26 does not. Steps to reproduce: just build with default configuration (but, ahci and atipiix should be turned on) and try to boot.

if hang before kernel, did you try "acpi=off"?
Can you please attach the config of 2.6.22 and the one you used to build 2.6.26. A boot log from 2.6.22 would be helpful as well. Thanks, tglx
ahaaa.. acpi=off helps but.. i need acpi on laptop..
i'll send configs later..
Does pressing the Shift key on the keyboard cause it to continue booting?
