System silently not booting with 2.6.35 nor with 2.6.35.3 -- It worksfine with 2.6.32.x and 2.6.18.x

[Richard Hartmann]

Hi all,

I am experiencing problems with a system of ours. Namely, it boots
fine with kernels
2.6.18.x and 2.6.32.x, but does not boot with 2.6.35 nor with 2.6.35.3.

With "not boot", I mean that it literally prints nothing after grub
hands over control
even with the "debug" statement enabled. Early printk is useless, as well.

Grub tells me:

root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz debug console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 ide_core.nodma=0.0
 ide_core.nodma=0.1 ide_core.nodma=1.0 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/linuxrc ? root_d
ev=/dev/hda1 etc_dev=/dev/hda2 root_maxsize=200m varlog_maxsize=10m root_fstype
=ext3 etc_fstype=ext3 do_md5sum=0
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2e00, size=0x28f400]
initrd /boot/initrd
   [Linux-initrd @ 0x377f0000, 0x800000 bytes]


The initrd is static and merely contains a /linuxrc which untars the
root tarball into
RAM. Starting with a "clean" parameter line yields the same result.

I am attaching the .config for .32 and .35.


Any and all help in tracking this down appreciated. If you need more
information, ask.


Thanks a lot,
Richard
