Additional info: I had the same problem with Redhat 7.1 I tried to solved the problem with the patch associated to bugzilla : 37096, 37712, 39852 without succes. The module is apparently loaded, but the system hang loading the DAC960 driver. There is no fix ( patch ) for the roswell distrib.
What happens if you boot with the "apic" option (e.g., "linux apic")?
Putting into needinfo state.
OK. I installed without any problems. May we have any comments on this option or a pointer.
