Sorry, my motherboard is the P4G(X deluxe, which has the RAID built in Re-tested and verified that it is the P4G8X-Deluxe built in SATA RAID functions that are causing the crash. I unplugged my hard drives from the Serial-ATA RAID plugs and rebooted Fedora Core 2 test1 and the boot completed (although there were a few other bugs) Assigning to the kernel, the problem lies there if the raid driver is crashing it. I tried playing with the acpi and apm during boot. Turning them both off doesn't fix the problem. What I did notice is that the linux kernel relegates the RAID to IRQ 9, but when I select the SMP kernel on my Hyper Threading P4, the IRQs get set to 209 (!!). Interestingly, IRQ 9 totally crashes my machine outright. IRQ 209 still crashes it and locks up the mouse, but the grey init screen swirling dots keep moving. I have not tampered with my motherboard's BIOS.... but it seems the IRQ table the BIOS shows, displays that a lot of Serial and Multimedia devices are spead over IRQ 9. It seems that the Linux kernel is misappropriating IRQs on my hardware setup. I loaded up Knoppix on this machine, and noticed that sound no longer worked on it once RAID had been connected. So I'm lead to believe that this issue may be IRQ related in the linux kernel. Windows works no problems. It seems to relegate the RAID drives to IRQ 23/24 You may want to try "acpi=off" any better with the 2.6.9 update ? I went and tried FC3 and found that installation and booting works now without any problems. I haven't tried accessing the drives under FC3 (they are NTFS formatted anyway), but there are no crashes anymore. Problem solved. |
