I haven' t the slightest idea, but I don' t see how people can help if
you give no information about the machines that fail, nor which
version of the kernel this is, not how it was compiled, nor what boot
options you tried.
The process started on the sourceforge site, but as I had stated. It just stops.
http://sourceforge.net/p/g4l/discussion/408762/thread/dd4ae6ef
My Project includes a number of kernels (8) from 3.0.101 thru 3.13.6 the
default, and 3.14-rc6. Have tried booting from CDs and usb. Using version of
Syslinux 4.06, 5.10, and 6.02/3. Have tried with failsafe options. Have tried
Debug option, nosmp, etc. Have tried it without a disk installed, and it still
freezes. Placed the disk in a different system, and it loads fine, and make the
image.
Strangely, the machine does boot with an Pmagic linux disk, but it is an i486
version, and doesn't include the nic.
Was mainly looking to see if someone had some experience with this
machine, and might have figured out a setting or option.
Generally have about 1000 downloads per week of the project, and usually
have very few issues, and generally, can quickly come up with a solution, but
this one is not going well.
User is a Windows person, so it is even more of an issue, and have sent an
request to the vendor, but expect will get a response that machine is only
listed as Windows 7 or 8...
Thanks fro the Time.
