From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Also with kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2115. System is Dell PowerEdge 1650 with dual 1.4ghz PIII CPUs. RAM and Motherboard have been replaced, and RedHat 9.0 installed to verify functionality with Dell. Only fails on Fedora Core. The system will freeze at random points in rc.sysinit between "Finding module dependencies:" and just after "Enabling swap space." I have also had it freeze during halt at the "Unmounting file systems:" step. Unable to reproduce the bug with non-smp kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2129 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core on PowerEdge 1650 w/ dual processors. 2. Boot -- possible failure 3. Reboot -- possible failure Actual Results: System freezes at random points as described above. Expected Results: Normal boot. Additional info: Only able to reproduce on SMP kernel. Seems to happen 50% of the time on kernel 2115, less often with 2129, but this might just be my luck.

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.
