Re: debugging a kernel that doesn't start

	hello.  Another thing to try is to see if you can get to the boot prompt and boot the
kernel with various options, i.e. -a, -c, and possibly -2, to disable acpi.  If -c gets you to
a driver selection prompt, then you know the kernel is loaded and ready for you to disable
drivers.  If you don't get that far, then I'd say it's a boot loader issue.  It could be the
way the boot loader interacts with the BIOS, but without more info, it's hard to know what,
exactly, is going wrong.
