Install RHEL4 UP2 on ULi EV970 board(ULi M1697 K8 single chip), and on the first boot. The system hangs when initializing hardware. Starting udev: OK Initializing Hardware...Storage Network Disable HD Audio controller, first boot is okay. I try to update kernel to 2.6.14. The module snd-hda-intel works fine and cannot find any error message. Play wav file,I can hear sound. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL4 UP2 on ULi EV970 or ASUS P5RD1-V 2. Boot new install.
Seeing a very similar problem on IBM A21p notebook - hangs at the same point in startup since recent updates. Did a complete reinstall, rebooted OK. Updated and problem returned.
Additional info: Both Knoppix 4.0.2 and Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 live-CD distros seem to work OK on the same hardware, as have RH 7.3, FC1/2/3, and EL4/4.1. The problematic system is an IBM A21p notebook with (according to Knoppix lspci) Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 using module cs46xx.
Looks like a udev issue. Reassigning to udev
I'm seeing a similar problem on an IBM HS40 blade (model 8839) on which I've just installed RHEL4--the system hangs on bootup immediately after the "Initializing hardware... storage network audio" message is displayed. This is a rack-mounted blade server in an IBM Bladecenter chassis, with no audio, running kernel 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp. The hang occurs on some boots but not others.
Hmmm...well, I guess the first thing is for everyone to try my RHEL4 test kernels: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel4/ Beyond that, please also make sure that you have the latest BIOS updates available for your box/motherboard/laptop. Please try both of the above and then post the results here...thanks!
kernel-2.6.9-24.EL.jwltest.96 works for me on IBM A21p. I see .97 is there now - will give that a shot also.
kernel-2.6.9-24.EL.jwltest.97 works on A21p - reboots OK with audio device enabled in /etc/modprobe.conf
Test kernel-2.6.9-25.EL.jwltest.98 also works on A21p. Neglected to mention earlier - BIOS is at the latest available rev: KYET38WW from 20 May 2004. [Would be nice to see some feedback from others who have seen this bug.]
Latest EL4 kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL works OK on A21p. CLOSED/CURRENTRELEASE would seem to be an appropriate disposition if this works for the original reporter as well.

RHEL AS4 UP4, kernel 2.6.9-42.EL & 2.6.9-42.Elsmp can't let Sigmatel HD Audio STAC9220 work, also hang at: "Initializing hardware... storage network", I disable HDA support in BIOS, it can enter linux OK. Platform: our designed board, Intel Mobile Dual core T2500 2G CPU + 945GM+ ICH7. software: Redhat AS version 4, update 4.
Jacky, you probably want to open a separate bug for this issue, since this is for a different codec. Either way, please try the test kernels currently available at the location from comment 6, and post the results in the new bug you open...thanks!
