Description Sven Paas 2004-01-28 20:15:32 UTC
Description of problem:

After successfully installing FC1 on my old Fujitsu-Siemens T-Bird, 
the installed kernel boots but hangs very lately while

"Finding module dependencies". 

The system works very well under Red Hat Linux 8 and Windows 2000 
Server. 

Hardware: 

- Intel Pentium II-MMX, 400 MHz, 384 MB RAM
- Intel 82371AB/EB PCI-to-ISA Bridge
  - Siemens I-Surf 2 ISA ISDN Card
- Intel 82443BX Pentium II to AGP Controller
  - ATI 3D Rage IIc AGP Graphics Adapter
- Intel 82443BX Pentium II to PCI Bridge
  - Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus-Master-IDE Controller
    - ST310230A Hard Drive
  - Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus-Master-IDE Controller
    - ST310230A Hard Drive
    - HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  - DawiCOntrol DC-2975U PCI SCSI Hostadapter (Symbios Logic 53c875)
    - IBM DCAS-34330 SCSI Hard Drive
    - YAMAHA CRW64165 SCSI CD Writer
  - Genius GF100TXR Super 10/100M PCI FastEthernet Adapter
    (RealTek RTL8139(A))
  - ESS Solo1 PCI Sound Card
- Intel 82371AB/EB PCI-to-USB Hostcontroller
  - USB Root Hub
- 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port, 1 floppy drive

I tried the following options with _no_ success: 

- noapic
- nousb
- apm=off
- acpi=off
- nopcmcia

I also removed all modules but 53c8xx.o from /etc/modules.conf, no 
success. 

Installation worked absolutely smoothly. 
The rescue system boots fine. 

I tried the kernel versions 2115 and 2149. 


Any hints? 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl and up. 

How reproducible:

Always. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install plain FC1
2. Reboot
  
Actual results:
System hangs after saying
"Finding modules dependencies."

Expected results:
System should boot. 

Additional info:
Same result with a fully patched FC1 up to 20040127. 
Nothing in /var/log/messages.

does the current errata kernel make any improvement? 


Comment 2 David Lawrence 2004-09-29 20:01:18 UTC
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.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
