From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4 i686) Description of problem: RedHat 7.1 kernel freezes after "Freeing unused kernel memory" How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 7.1 2. Reboot Actual Results: System fails to load properly, hanging after "Freeing unused kernel memory". Happens with both of the installed kernels (SMP and UP). Expected Results: System should properly load. Additional info: System information: Dual P3-733s 1 GB ECC PC-133 SDRAM SuperMicro 370DL3 motherboard Symbios Ultra SCSI 64-bit PCI card 3Com 905C-TX NIC Diamond Stealth II S220 PCI Video card (only card I was able to make work) On-board SCSI and NIC are disabled (did not help the problem). Installation went fine, coming up with the graphical install utility. Installed packages: Mail/WWW/News tools Kernel Development Development Utilities NFS Server WWW Server Anonymous FTP server As an experiment, I installed RedHat 7.0 and it worked flawlessly.

So the installer kernel worked, but the installed kernel doesn't. If you still have the 7.0 install available, could you attach the output of dmesg ?
Here is the output from dmesg after installing RedHat 7.0 and installing the 2.4.4 kernel. # dmesg 4>Int: type 0, pol 3, trig 3, bus 1, IRQ 08, APIC ID 5, APIC INT 0a Int: type 3, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 00, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 00 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 01, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 01 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 00, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 02 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 03, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 03 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 04, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 04 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 06, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 06 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 07, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 07 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 08, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 08 Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 0c, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 0c Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 0d, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 0d Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 0e, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 0e Int: type 0, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 0f, APIC ID 4, APIC INT 0f Lint: type 3, pol 1, trig 1, bus 2, IRQ 00, APIC ID ff, APIC LINT 00 Lint: type 1, pol 1, trig 1, bus 0, IRQ 00, APIC ID ff, APIC LINT 01 Processors: 2 mapped APIC to ffffe000 (fee00000) mapped IOAPIC to ffffd000 (fec00000) mapped IOAPIC to ffffc000 (fec01000) Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=306 BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4 reboot=b Initializing CPU#0 Detected 733.001 MHz processor.

I don't see anything strange. It would be interesting to know if the 2.4.3 kernel we have in rawhide also boots. (on 7.0 you have to install it with --nodeps --force probably, but it should at least boot)
A coworker said that he had the same issue with RedHat 7.1 on a similar motherboard (ServerWorks chipset, but no on-board SCSI). He got around it by booting from the boot floppy, which I didn't attempt. Now that the server is up, I am reluctant to fiddle with it as it would mean reconfiguring a bunch of things (which I've already done a few times (long story)).
The released errata kernel 2.4.3-12 has a new serverworks IDE driver that should work a lot better. If that doesn't work, please reopen this bug.
