Screenshot from kernel panic
Sounds like something is missing from the initrd image. what does the initrd image looks like? Unfortunately I'm only the man-in-the-middle (ex-colleague with the server and myself with some knowledge and the interest to solves this problem, as HP rx2600 Itanium 2 servers are common machines). For now, I can provide you a "lspci -vvv" output from RHEL4 on the same machine, because the box is a project machine and should work (which does currently only with RHEL4). If there are any information, I'm able to obtain when having RHEL4, let me know. I don't know, when there's time and the possibility to re-install RHEL5 for another try and further information. And please let me know, what is needed exactly for further debugging purposes. Created attachment 151150 [details]
"lspci -vvv" output (using RHEL4 on the same machine)
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Hum? Did I miss something? Where is the real fix for this problem? Can you boot again without the "quiet" option and show the output from *that*, so we'll have more than just the error messages? Well, nice that you're willing to help nearly two months later when the machine went to production use with RHEL4 :( But I'll see whether I can get another box having this problem, too. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
Description of problem: After a normal installation including software RAID of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Server) at a HP rx2600 Itanium 2 server, the boot process ends with the screenshot attached below.
