Description of problem: Intel D810EMO motherboard. The kernel which shipped with RedHat 7.2 boots just fine. The kernels from the last two errata, however, fail to boot. Booting stops after about 50 lines of boot-up messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-27.7.x How reproducible: 100% reliable hang. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH7.2 on D810EMO system 2. Run Up2date to install errata 3. reboot. Actual results: Hangs during early phase of boot. Last messages seen are: Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: Initializing RT netlink socket Mar 17 17:32:04 anise kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b (Driver version 1.14) Expected results: Additional info: Explicitly disabling APM in the /etc/grub.conf for the newer kernels permitted the machine to boot. As this is a server (yes, a little bitty one) there's no need for APM anyway, but it'd be nice if errata kernels could be installed without trouble.
can you attach the output of dmidecode so that your bios can be blacklisted for apm automatically ?
Created attachment 90639 [details] output of dmidecode as requested, the output of dmidecode so that this bios can be blacklisted from apm use.
Added dmidecode output as attachment.
thanks. I've added the bios to the apm blacklist for future errata.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
