    Standard Kernel Doesn't Boot

    I've mostly been using the Gentoo kernels in my system without any problem other than 2.6.12 and above being unable to mount CD-ROMs.

    With my first vanilla kernel, 2.6.12.1, I am unable to boot my system past the very first few startup lines. The last four lines outputted by the kernel relate to my ACPI devices. Then, the screen just freezes. I can type, but only blue underscores appear across a line somewhat randomnly when I do. The exact same thing also happens with 2.6.13-rc2.

    What is happening with this kernel?

    You could try disabling ACPI support, but that would be a bit harsh. Do you have any obscure hardware hooked up to your box?

    I have the old serial TI-GraphLink, but nothing else out of the ordinary. It's just a regular ATX setup.

    You have it plugged in a boot-up?

    Yeah, but it hasn't interfered with the Fedora Core 3 2.6.9 kernel, FreeBSD 5.3 kernel, Slackware 2.6.10 kernel, or any Gentoo kernel (2.11 to 2.12).

    I'll attempt a boot-up without it.

    EDIT: No success.
