Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2001-08-03 14:15:47 UTC 
is the boot completely dead or can you still log in ?
Comment 5 Gene Czarcinski 2001-08-03 14:20:42 UTC 
I can login but things are really hosed.  Doing "ifconfig" hangs.  The system is
suppose to come up with gdm for login ... gdm is started but doesn't work.

I got the dmesg-smp.txt after logging in.

Everything seems to depend on the network interface.
Comment 6 Gene Czarcinski 2001-08-03 14:21:39 UTC 
I downloaded the 2.4.7-0.3 kernel and will give that a try next.
Comment 7 Arjan van de Ven 2001-08-03 14:22:41 UTC 
if you can pull of doing a "dmesg | ksymoops" after the crash that would be
VERY helpful in finding the actual culprit.
Comment 8 Gene Czarcinski 2001-08-03 14:41:36 UTC 
OK, 2.4.7-0.3 works -- the problem did not occur.

I suggest closed -> fixed in rawhide
