From: ghammar on 3 Dec 2009 09:10 I was fixing a problem with my root login and Orbit/Gnome. One of the things that was recommended was to do apt-get upgrade && apt-get update Somehow in the process of doing that, there were some changes to the kernel. Now when I try to boot, I get the message "... update kernel or disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPECATED...". I went into /boot and edited config_2.6.26_2-amd64 and changed the "y" to "n" for both CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2, but the error message remains. I can boot into single user mode and access the system, but I can't do a complete system boot. It hangs on the CPUFreq part. I would like to get my laptop back without completely rebuilding the OS.

(Eventually, I'll move from 2.6.26 to 2.6.30, and I assume the error will go away.) Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You need to recompile your kernel with those options or install an upgraded kernel (don't know what debian uses at the moment, been using custom kernels for several years now) > Giff > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This file describes the configuration that was used to compile the kernel. It is purely informational and has no effect on the kernel after compilation. > I can boot into single user mode and access the system, > but I can't do a complete system boot.

Yes, please try to be more precise about what happens before the boot process hangs. Did you try pressing Ctrl-c or Ctrl-d to abort the currenlty running init script? Did you try to disable the script you suspect to be the culprit? Do you have entries in your syslog from failed boot attempts? Did you enable the boot log (etc/default/bootlogd)?
