If you boot into graphical mode, I need you to boot into runlevel 3 instead, startx, wait until the problem occurs, reboot again into runlevel3 without any X, then attach using the link below: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/messages You may want to remove any private info from the messages file first.

Does this occur when using the Red Hat supplied SMP kernel? (binary, not a rebuild). What specific Red Hat kernel are you using that is having this problem? (again, provided binary, not rebuilt) I have indeed tried with the default kernel. The kernel is redhat 7.1 (2.4.2-smp) although this is a little unstable due to the promise controller! (get kernel oops when booting). As I said the system works fine when running the single processor kernel. I am not sure that this is a kernel problem though. Make sure you are running the latest flash rom update from your motherboard manufacturer. Also, check the various CMOS settings and insure they are correct. This problem is almost certainly hardware specific so I suspect the motherboard and/or BIOS in combination with the video hardware. By the way, your log file seems to show an IRQ conflict between 3 devices. This may very well cause problems. Also, make sure the video hardware is assigned an IRQ in the CMOS. Try disabling DRI also. If all else fails, I recommend upgrading to Red Hat Linux 7.2 or at least upgrading to XFree86 4.1.0-3 and the latest erratum kernel for 7.2 as well as all their dependacies. It is possible this may solve the problem if the above does not, and the 7.2 packages, or something based on them is likely to be released as erratum for 7.1 soon, so it would be good to test as 4.1.0 will be with us for quite a while. XFree86 4.1.0-15 has been released for Red Hat Linux, as has a new kernel. While I believe your problem to be a hardware issue, you should upgrade to our latest packages just in case it solves the problem for you. If you continue to have this problem please provide updated info and new file attachments. Assuming the problem is fixed now. Please reopen bug report with updated info after updating all released Red Hat Linux erratum if the problem persists. Please attach new X server log and kernel messages file at that time if needed also. Thanks. |
