Hello, I have an issue with latest 2.6.20 kernel.. my last kernel was a 2.6.18 and I wanted to upgrade to a 2.6.20, I copied .config and did a make menuconfig, then save/quit. I compiled new kernel, all went fine. I installed it and at boot time, I had a hang just after "Freeing unused kernel memory" where INIT is supposed to start. After searching the web, I found that it is usually the case when wrong process type is configured.. I verified that, but all was fine there. After 10ish compiled kernel, I found that it is when I select highmem64. Diff between working and non working kernel : 181,182c181,182 < # CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set < CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y ---
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
185d184 < CONFIG_X86_PAE=y 191c190 < CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y ---
# CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT is not set
(I just witching highmem 4G and highmem64g). I'll attach the full .config. it used to work fine with highmem64g with a kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 (I'm sure it was ok with .20-rc2 but I'll double check that). Is this a bug ? or something I did wrong ? Oh, I probably should add that this hang doesn't occur on all hardware, but it happen on Dell PE 850 at least. If you need additional informations, just ask :)
