Why was the severity changed from security to high There are Kernel updates for security reasons, which I cannot apply This is a security issue. Thanks Shaun I am having the same problem too. I had problems with the L440GX mobo, which was resolved using Mr Ledford's boot disks from Bug 29555. I am using RH 7.1 so my current working kernel is 2.4.2-2smp. I have tried kernel updates 2.4.18-18.7 and 2.4.18-19.7 with no joy. The server hangs on boot, I have made sure that I am using the smp kernel and have tried to boot with and without "boot: linux apic" Thank you for your time Moon PS Happy New Year More of the same: RH=7.3 MB=L440GX+ Single CPU installed Latest BIOS from Intel - 14.3 (build 133) 2.4.18-3smp 2.4.18-27.7.xdebug - work fine 2.4.18-18.7.x 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp 2.4.18-27.7.x 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp - don't work These kernels hang on "oprofile: APIC was already enabled" without the "noapic" option and goes into the famous aic7xxx error loop with the "noapic" option. I believe I originally got the working 2.4.18-3smp kernel installed using Doug Ledford's posted suggestions, as this machine also exhibited the associated L440GX/RH7.3 install problems. I'm O.K. for now using one of the working kernels, but would ultimately prefer not to use a debug kernel or the less secure kernel so I thought I'd add a bit more info while I add my name to the cc list for this bug. I also have a question which you may feel free to ignore if this is not the proper forum (or point me to a more appropriate forum): Until this bug is fixed, can anyone offer any opinions about the pros and cons of using either the older 2.4.18-3smp kernel vs. the newer 2.4.18-27.7.xdebug? We've since issued another kernel update, RHSA-2003:172, which should fix this. Please let us know. Whoo-hoo!! Way to go kernel gurus!! Both single processor and smp versions of kernel-2.4.20-13.7 boot with no problems! Thanks. *** Bug 88855 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 78415 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 77643 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 77090 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 76551 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 75947 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 71452 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 54422 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 53829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 53786 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 53644 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: After upgrading kernel using up2date Fails to boot with newer version of Kernel, on L440GX motherboard Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.9-34smp works 2.4.18-17.7xsmp fails 2.4.18-18.7xsmp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot using grub 2. choose kernel greater than 2.4.9-34 3. Actual results: hangs during boot with last line ply: 2048 Unix98 ptys configured next line in normal boot (3.4.9-34smp) is serial driver version 5.05c ..... Expected results: normal boot Additional info: I installed 7.2 using a downloaded boot disk and using apic option This worked fine until i updated the kernel using up2date it now hangs, unless I select the old kernel This is obviously a secrity risk, as the reason fro the the kernel updates were security Thanks Shaun
