Mark, we dont have enough information here to debug this problem. Can you grab the very latest RHEL3-U4 kernel and install that. If you run into the same problem please send the entire console output. If there is none, you are must attach a serial console on your system so we get a complete panic message with the stack traceback. Thanks, Larry Woodman
I believe that this is the agpgart problem that was fixed in kernel-2.4.21-24.EL. Please grab the latest RHEL3-U4 kernel and verify this. Larry Woodman
Mark the latest RHEL3-U4 kernel is likely to have this problem fixed, can you try and verify it so we can close this bug? Its located here: ftp://partners.redhat.com/a61d109e2483b0bf579b0b5f90a5ea8c/2.4.21-27.EL/ Thanks, Larry Woodman
Mark, we are waiting on you to confirm whether this problem has been fixed. Please download the appropriate RPM from the URL specified in comment #4 and update this bug report. Thanks in advance. (The kernel version should be 2.4.21-27.EL.)
Closing due to lack of response.
