From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1 Description of problem: After installing RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 on a VA Linux 2240 with the L440GX (lancewood) motherboard, the system hangs after IDE. This is not the symptom from scsi resets (with apic fix), as we are well aware of this problem, and know how to work around it. We have tried the UP, SMP and enterprise kernel all with the same results. The system loads just fine, and then after reboot hangs after it loads the IDE foo in the kernel. A Multiple Processor box works just fine, but a box with just one processor will exhibit the problems described. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load RHAS2.1 on L440GX board with one processor. 2. Boot System with any of the AS kernels from CDs. 3. Actual Results: Hung... Expected Results: System should boot... Additional info: This is where it hung: RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz PCI bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 91 PIIX4: chipset revision 1 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1000-0x1007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1008-0x100f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
I guess after four months this is just being completely ignored?? -- sithender
I had experienced a very similar problem on two different systems. One is a Dell 1650 (single CPU) and the other is a (slightly older) Dell 2400 (single CPU). On both systems, the e.3 UP kernel booted fine, but the e.3 enterprise kernel refuses to boot (hangs just after the ide: Assuming 33MHz PCI bus speed...). On the 1650, I tried booting e.24 enterprise and it had the same problem, but e.24 (up) boots fine. On both systems, however, the e.27 kernels (up, smp, and enterprise) all boot fine. Must have been something fixed in between e.24 and e.27 that did the trick for my two systems.
