I've been having the same problem for weeks on my Sony Vaio Z505RX, and recently reproduced it on my K6 300. Changing -O2 to -O doesn't help. The spinner freezes (sometimes on "/", but not always), but the system still seems to boot without displaying anything on the console. The disk spins as if fsck is running, but the system is essentially unusable. It's almost as if the console is not being detected. This problem began after Peter Wemm's config changes. Both my own kernel configuration nor GENERIC behave similarly. New boot blocks did not help for either of my systems. -- Andrew J.
