From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: I upgraded from kernel-smp 2.4.20-9 to 2.4.20-13.9, as it was made available. Upon re-booting, a load of error messages flashed past me when checking for module depenedencies - the last readable message was something about a segmentation violation for audigy (I have a Soundblaster audigy card fitted, and it works fine with 2.4.20-9). Then upon reaching "Checking for new hardware", the system hangs. I can hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, and it switches to runlevel 6, but nothing else will cause a response. I had to reboot and run an interactive boot session, to bypass kudzu starting (and most other services - when I first tried it also hung on starting the loopback device). Then I had to re-install 2.4.20-9 - I was disappointed that the upgrade process did not leave the previous kernel in the /boot partition and grub. I would have thought this would be an elementary precaution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.20-13.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insure Audigy card is installed and working. 2. Upgrade to kernel-smp-2.4.20-13.9 3. Reboot Actual Results: Hangs seraching for new hardware. Expected Results: System boots. Additional info:
Should be fixed in current errata. Let me know if not
Yes, the problem has gone away. Thank you.
