The following information would help a lot: * dmesg output from a successful boot. * Latest checkout date of a kernel that does boot. * Earliest checkout date of a kernel that doesn't boot. * If it's not a GENERIC kernel, the kernel configuration. (Diff against GENERIC is enough.) SVN revisions are even better than dates if you have them available. (Most people don't; that's okay.) With this, someone can look through the changes that were made during that period and possibly come up with a few likely culprits. Obviously, it's better if you can narrow it down to a shorter interval (a week is good, a day is better) by checking out sources from the half-way point and trying that. Tim
