Dear All,

I built a linux kernel 2.6.10. When grub tries to execute it the system shows the message:

Uncompressing Linux..

and then reboots in a very Spartan way.

My suspects are that a modern bootloader tries to boot an older (although respectful) kernel. In facts grub does some preliminar, and mysterious to me, work prior to launch the kernel.

In the following links you will find my .config and an excerpt of my grub.cfg. As an additional information, the same happens on two machines of mine (both having a debian wheezy), so the problem should not be related to hardware.

.config --> http://www.polarhome.com:753/~marcello/.config grub.cfg --> http://www.polarhome.com:753/~marcello/grub.cfg

In just one word: HELP

Thanks in Advance.
