From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Fedora/1.7.6-1.2.5 Description of problem: The kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 gives me a kernel panic immediately at boot time, and complains about /lib/ld.so . It couldn't be found since it doesn't exist. This is repeatable until I boot up with kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 just once, which is booting up just fine. After that the kernel panic does not occur with kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 (which explains why I don't have unfortunately more details about the error message), but instead it gives me a mounting error of the ext3fs just after it loaded the hardware modules. Unfortunately I'm not willing to sacrifice the servers again so I'm discontinuing the experimenting (I had some VERY BAD experience with kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.760_FC3, the consequences were far more serious than reported in bugzilla). I'm seriously questioning if the smp kernels are even tested before submitted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 3 with kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 on an equivalent system. 2. Try to boot with the smp kernel. 3. Actual Results: kernel panic or mounting error of ext3fs Expected Results: The system should have booted up nice and clean, just like with kernel-smp-2.6.10.770_FC3 Additional info: My system has the following configuration: MB: TYAN Tiger K8W (s2875) CPU: 2 x Opteron_242 HDD: 2 x 200GB (/boot as RAID1; / as RAID0; swap as RAID0) Memory: 2 x 1GB = 2GB
