Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.

Description of problem: I have a system running on an AOpen DX34 Plus motherboard with two Pentium 3 800EB chips. I have the latest RedHat 8.0 Personal running with all of the latest updates from RHN. The kernel is unmodified. This system works fine in uniprocessor mode, but when I boot it with the SMP kernel, it crashes and resets. It's hard to see the kernel messages because the machine resets so quickly, but one of the last things I see is "Booting processor 1/1". There are a few other lines that flash by quickly, but its hard to see them in the short time they appear. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RH8.0, kernel 2.4.18-14smp How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the 2.4.18-14smp kernel on my system. That's it. Actual results: Crash and immediate reset. Expected results: It should boot! Additional info: The system is running the Via Pro133 chipset, has 256MB of ECC RAM and a Matrox Mystique video card. I contacted RedHat support, and we tried a number of kernel options in an attempt to resolve this problem: noisapnp noapic mem=268435456 apm=off pci=(off,nobios,biosirq) ide=nodma None of these helped. The machine always crashed several messages after the "Booting Processor 1/1" message. When PnP was enabled, it would crash after some messages regarding PnP. With certain values of the pci= parameter (can't remember which), the system would crash after a few messages about PCI IRQ assignment. Is this a known problem, or is there some way I can get more information about the cause of the crash?
