Hi, I had an issue with this kernel upgrade too. All worked fine until the 194 Kernel then hung on boot on 4 machines all with identical motherboards. All had USB keyboards, when replaced with PS2 keyboards all worked fine! What is to blame? - motherboard, kernel or keyboard.. I have no idea. I have also seen similar hangs on boot with asrock motherboards and there crazy version of a VGA slot that only too certain cards. Does you machine have an onboard graphics adapter you could try booting with?
