Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 107471
boot problem in smp mode
Last modified: 2005-10-31 17:00:50 EST
Description of problem: My redhat linux 8.0 runs fine in uniprocessor mode on intel Xeon dual-processor system with E7505 chipset. At the time of linux installation, i needed to apply a driver disk for Silicon Images SATA host adapter driver - sii3112rl. But now when i am trying to recompile the kernel (2.4.18-14smp or any higher ones), everything seems fine (make xconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install) but when i have to prepare initrd.img using mkinitrd, it says 'No module sii3112rl found for kernel 2.4.22.18oct'. There is an entry for sii3112rl in /etc/modules.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: On Xeon DP based workstation, with SATAraid hostadapter. Steps to Reproduce: 1.recompile kernel 2.4.18-14 or higer with smp 2.mkinitrd initrd.img 2.4.**.** 3. Actual results: No initrd.img and so no boot-up with smp feature Expected results: System boots with smp mode Additional info: Any help will be greatly appreciated.
