From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: I just upgraded from my working 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.18-4 When I boot, everything looks just fine util "Enabling swap space [OK]", then noting happens... ctrl+alt+delete to reboot doesnt even work. In 2.4.18-3, the next line after swap is the one from hdparm. I enabled the default optimizations available in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks How can I provide more info? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade RH7.3 from 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.18-4 and reboot. 2. 3. Additional info: Dell Latitude C810
And if you revert to 2.4.18-3 this goes away? (boot in emergency mode if necessary) If so, remove the hdparm settings. They are provided as a convenience to users, but it is not guaranteed that arbitrary settings will work.
After trying to boot this kernel for a few days, it now works. Dont know why, but I'm happy anyway :)
