I am using the 2.6.22.5-76 kernel. When I try and use the
2.6.22.1-41kernel, I get the same result even though the
2.6.22.1-41 kernel has worked on those machines in the past.
I am using udev-113.12. I get the same result if I roll back to udev-113.11
.
Booting into single user mode also fails. It gets stuck in the same spot.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bruce
