I will add attacments as appropriate later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp.i686 0:2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see description Actual Results: kernel 1977 now fails to install Expected Results: expected it to install again so that I could find out why it was hanging at boot. Additional info: attacments to follow
Created attachment 125255 [details] failed re-install output Text from failed re-install.
Looked for log of failed boot in messages but cant find any referaces for 1977 at boot is there anywhere else i could look.
The final line of text that appears on the monitor is:- input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as class/input/input1 /var/log/messages contains:- #### Rebooted latest kernel Feb 26 12:19:36 james gdm[2215]: Restarting computer...

Forgot to add this before. The hardware is an Intel D865PERL motherboard with 3GHz P4 and a standard PS2 optical mouse. I think I installed a Seagate SATA hard drive also. Device is /dev/sda1
I'm having a similar experience with my old trusty athlon 1800mp smp system using the 1975 and 1977 smp kernels. Normally tne next message would be about LVM detection Last messuage on boot concerns the ImPS/2 mouse kernels that will not boot: kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1975_FC5 kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 kernels that will boot: kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1939_FC5 kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5 kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 I wonder is this related to a mkinitrd update perhaps and its just showing up as a kernel problem? -jef
wierder and weirder... kernel-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 boots without issue whereas the smp kernel fails to boot with the odd PS/2 mouse error so far reported. I disconnect the mouse and try to boot kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 and I get a AT keyboard error at the same point in the boot scroll. of course trying to boot without the keyboard makes my bios freakout so I can't test that. I've even downgraded to a mkinitrd that I know should work, and no difference. So it appears to be an issue only with the smp kernels and its not just mouse probing that has a problem.. mouseless systems result in a similar error with the keyboard input. I'm not sure how to get more information out of the scroll other than to attempt to take a screenshot with my digital camera, which I really suck at doing. Please let me know what you'd like me to do to get more feedback from this system. -jef
