I have even diff the .config files [1] For anyone to give you a useful answer, we would need more detailed information about your specific issue - for example: - - how far through the boot process does the "broken" kernel get? - - Are there any error messages or stack traces? - - Is there any display at all? - - What is the kernel cmdline used to boot the kernel? - - Do you use an initramfs? As for the kernel diff below, there are obviously a few options changed between the kernels, but without more information about your hardware and an idea of what is actually happening, it's difficult to tell if any are the cause of your issue. > stumped needing a nudge, *nudge* Cheers; wraeth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlN6mJYACgkQXcRKerLZ91lH+wD8CmQ2TzCvd9kcHf3LbW6cLt9S nvWraneMUG06R9Cs2xgA/iow3X4EqGK6nGzxHNgq6nX30NKIO6ZdVBhVz7H4y4me =bvNG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
