Have you checked if this still happens with the rhel4 release candidate? Where do I acquire the RC? All I've been able to get a hold of is RHEL 4 beta2. Thanks Just determined that we are not able to reproduce this in-house on one of our own beta2 x86_64 boxes, so I'm suspecting something specific to your hardware. Did this machine work with previous releases? I have not been able to boot FC3 x86_64 SMP kernels (none of the available, 2.6.9 and higher) until I disabled 'cpuspeed' services. Contrary to the original post, there was no proble to boot the system into uP kernel. That is how I was able to disable cpuspeed. The hangs were at random places after 'cpuspeed' but I have never got to the end of the boot process. Also, the machine was resetting right after GRUB initial screen when trying to boot SMP kernel after a reboot from uP session (w/o hard reset or power off/on). The reason seems to be that the machine's CPU(s) were left in low-frequency (1GHz instead of nominal 2.4GHz). The BIOS screen shows 1.0GHz until a hard reset. My machine is dual-Opteron 250, Tyan K8W S2875 MoBo. Fedora Core 3 x86_64. Michal. Michal - as your comment is specific to FC, and does not appear to relate to RHEL at all, would you please open a new bug for Fedora Core for your problem? I have just opened it for FC3, bug #158523 Can this issue be reproduced with the latest RHEL4 bits? No activity on this bug in 2 years, works fine on a ton of hardware we have in-house. Closing WORKSFORME. |

Forcing a hard boot is the only way to end the boot process. Boot process will not advance beyond this point. This also appears in Fedora Core, Version 3 for x86_64 also. Hare is listed below. DFI LanParty UT 250GB nForce 3 chipset AMD 64 3200+ 80 GB Maxtor IDE drive Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install either RHEL 4.0 Beta2 or FC3 for x86_64 2. Attempt to boot either OS 3. OS will lock on cpuspeed and will not proceed. Actual Results: Boot process hung and would not advance on step "Starting CPUSPEED". Expected Results: It should have booted completely in the OS, providing a stable OS for use. Additional info:
