2.5.75 freeze when booting

[Lasse Anderson]

Hi

I'm a newbie, so please have some understanding, the repoty might not be
perfect. If you have more questions ask (please CC, I don't follow the
group that much)

1.
Kernel freeze when booting.

2.
I boot up the machine and see the three first rows after lilo,
"uncompressing linux" and then "booting the kernel". After that nothing
happens. The kernel configuration can be found at
http://www.polycon.fi/~laa/config-2.5.75

4.
Kernel version 2.5.75

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

Why does the [linux] kernel go through stable and then unstable forks?
Can't it always be a stable build, like with Windows?
