I'm not 100% sure as to where exactly to post this, but I've been wanting to set up a second computer for a while, and I finally put together a computer using the original motherboard and CPU from an HP Pavilion 7905, 1.6 GHz. I put in 512 MB of RAM, and I burned a Slackware DVD using my main computer. But when I boot up the DVD, I had an issue booting to the "normal" kernel, the hugesmp.s one. So, I tried the huge.s kernel, and it's still not working for me. I got the following output out of it when it crashed // froze:

I'd appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks in advance! ^^

What was the issue for hugesmp kernel?
It is supposed to boot in all cases.

Any way try booting the machine with cd/dvd of some other distro you may have.
This will confirm its working and is in order and that it can boot.

Also, check your dvd, if you burned it properly or not.
you can check if it is running the way it should be, on your main computer.

Keep trying

Blarg. I tried booting up a freshly burned Ubuntu 9.10 CD, it didn't work at all.. :| This sucks.

You do not specify what version of Slackware and what release of the Linux kernel. Can you elaborate? This turned up in a google search: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12255 but I guess that patch would have gone into the kernel before Slackware 13.0's kernel version 2.6.29.6.

It's the latest one, freshly downloaded offa the torrent. Sorry for not telling that.. >.<
