Computer hangs while trying to boot kernel.
 

Okay, so I've been trying to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6, and When I try to boot from the new kernel, the system will go as far as

Uncompressing Linux... O.K. Booting kernel.

And then itll just hang. I've never had this problem before when installing 2.6.

I just realized that I've posted this in the hardware section. My apologies.

Just check ur /boot partition. Check whether all th required links to the image are created.
This can help u
bye
