Please attach a serial console line and capture the panic message and/or oops output, which we'll need to debug the problem. Thanks. In most cases there is on panic message or oops output the system just resets. It's vary hard to get the system to reboot to the condition where the SATA drives are not found during the boot. In most cases there is no panic message or oops output the system just resets. It's vary hard to get the system to reboot to the condition where the SATA drives are not found during the boot. I am unable to reproduce this problem at will and even if I could it would require a complete reinstall of the OS prior to the upgrade. I don't see this as a productive use of my testing time. Sorry I can't provide more help. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I use the up2date utility to upgrade my Dell PowerEdge 1800 and Intel S3E1330 systems to the latest kernel. After the upgrade if I try to boot the SMP kernel that gets added to the grub menu.list file and the system resets and Bios starts loading again. Sometimes I will get a panic because the SATA drives were not found during the boot. If I boot the non-SMP kernel entry that was added to the grub menu.lst the systems boots correctly but it is note worthy to point out that after the boot uname shows that it is an SMP system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): greater than kernel-2.4.21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install 2.4.21-0.1 on an SMP system 2.run rhn-register 3.run up2date 4.After the upgrade reboot to the new SMP kernel Actual Results: The system reset and Bios starts loading again. Re- building the kernel with the configs/Kernel-2.4.21-x86_64-SMP.config has no effect as I see the same problem. Expected Results: I expect the system to boot after a kernel upgrade. Additional info:
