From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: When I boot FC2, the kernel hangs after mounting the root filesystem. My hardware is as follows: - Asus P4C800 Deluxe Mobo - Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card from HIS - Maxtor (parallel) ATA 133 HDD on primary IDE-Controller (NO SATA!) - A LG DVD-Drive and a Plextor CD-RW burner (I don't remember exact models) - USB mouse and keyboard I tried to fotograph the kernel messages (see website www.allotria.ch/kernel for the pictures). Unfortunately, some pics are very blury. The first two pictures were taken with acpi enabled, hence the IRQ #169, the later ones with kernel options "acpi=off apm=off i8042.nomux" Intrestingly the FC2-Installer went through, albeit veery slowly. Sometimes the mouse hanged for about a minute before I could move it one more. I did not pass any kernel parameters on installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. System hangs Actual Results: Kernel lockes up. Expected Results: System should boot up and function normally Additional info: I tried the special Asus P4P800 Boot-CD but with same result.
Similar situation for 2.6.9-1.667smp FC3 System boots up. At the process of starting KDE, GNOME or XFce the system freezes. No mouse move, no Ctrl-Alt-... working. Only po ssible to turn off machine to reboot. Non-smp works fine. On four different machines, three of them quite simple config (only processor, M/B K.

any improvement with the latest update ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
