Comment 1 Kelly-Rand 2005-10-09 11:23:21 EDT 
Clarification:  The "Summary" information should be included under the
"Description of the Problem" field. 

New Information:
I took the kernel-2.6.13<customversion>.rpm and installed it on my server which
is also based on the AMD K6 architecture. I modified grub and rebooted, this
kernel that was compiled on my toshiba laptop booted just fine. In fact it is
the currently running kernel as I type this. So the boot hang issue is specific
to the toshiba laptop.

As I understand the boot process, the kernel has loaded and initiates the first
task which is to query the bios, then it should initiate the memory and devices
and this is where it hangs.
Comment 2 Kelly-Rand 2005-10-10 10:43:00 EDT 
051010 Update
On the toshiba laptop I set the boot parameter acpi=force and was able to boot
the 2.6.13 kernel. There was one fail error "module pcmcia_core not found.." but
this message was not registered in dmesg and seems to have no effect on networking.
I then re-edited grub, unsetting acpi=force and setting apm=off. On the
subsequent reboot the kernel loaded and proceeded to load udev, it hung while
trying to start network interfaces again complaining that it could not find the
"pcmcia_core module".
None of these early boot messages are saved in the logs.

I am going to continue using this kernel with the boot parameter acpi=force enabled.
Comment 3 Dave Jones 2005-11-10 14:51:52 EST 
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.
Comment 4 Kelly-Rand 2005-11-12 07:18:07 EST 
I installed 2.6.14-1.1637 kernel and headers for an i586 platform. The reboot
again hung before the redhat nash logo. There was no error output. I then
rebooted and added 'acpi=force' to the command string and then had an error free
boot.

This kernel update did clear up some errors that appeared in my syslog after a
recent yum update. If these former error messages are of interest I can post
them in a follow up to this post.

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.
