Trio3b 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Upgrading pclos2009 (2.6.26 kernel) to 2.6.27 for better wireless support. New kernel fails to boot and leaves me w/blikning cursor. Upon using the good kernel to boot dmesg and /var/log messages seem to only record the successful boot and not the failed one. How can I record the failed boot to post here and correct what's wrong. Was looking for a boot log or something but no luck. Got the kernel from correct repos ( I think) and followed all instructions for upgrading. Any help appreciated.
