From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: Recently upgraded two Athlon boxes, both running 7.3, to the new 2.4.18-19.7.x-athlon kernels. One runs fine. The other boots fine (runlevel 3), but crashes (hard lock) when I try to run X (with the stock kernel binary) or reboots the machine (with a custom-compiled kernel using your kernel-source rpm). The machine which works fine is an old 900MHz Athlon on an Asus A7 Pro motherboard and uses an old ATI Rage-128 based video card. The malfunctioning box uses an IWill KK266 motherboard, and Athlon 1900+, and an ATI Radeon 7500 video board. This latter machine worked fine for months with your old 2.4.18-3 i386 kernel custom-compiled for the Athlon; it also works fine, so far, without a hitch using Linus' 2.4.20 kernel (retrieved from kernel.org). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-19.7.x kernel binaries for Athlon; RedHat Linux 7.3 base system How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot affected machine with the 2.4.18-19.7.x-athlon kernel (runlevel 3). 2. startx 3. With the stock kernel binary, it simply crashes; with a custom-compile, it reboots. Actual Results: see above. Booting with the old 2.4.18-3 kernel (stock binary or custom compiled) or Linus' 2.4.20 kernel resolves the issue. Expected Results: Normal operation Additional info:
