sounds like your initrd is broken.  try updating mkinitrd to latest,
and reinstalling the 2149 kernel.


Comment 2 lynn wheeler 2004-01-31 06:23:27 UTC
the fedora mkinitrd was built/installed from ISO/CDROM. I replaced it
with a mkinitrd copied from a redhat 9 system that i have. I then
rebuilt the 2149 kernel and it booted fine

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        14737 Jan 30 22:35 mkinitrd
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        15448 Jan 30 22:34 mkinitrd.fedora


Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-02-02 23:55:16 UTC
Can you attach your grub.conf?

Comment 4 lynn wheeler 2004-02-03 00:37:08 UTC
Created attachment 97426 [details]
grug.conf from fedora

grub.conf file the same before and after copying mkinitrd 
from redhat9 system and re-installing both 2149 and 2149smp.

note this is a two processor dimension 410 which has a separate
problem that 2149smp boot just hangs.

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/
