Trio3b Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share 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.

scarecrow Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Apparently initrd was not built properly. Boot with .26 and reinstall .27, tracking all installation errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trio3b Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 this time upgraded all packages first, reboot, then install new kernel from2007/2009 repos and all seems well. Will go through several reboots and check back Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
