I just upgraded to Fedora 1 from RH9. Everything is working well
except
when I try to boot into the SMP kernel. Right before running the INIT
process the server just hangs. When I chose the non-smp option, it blows
right by the same spot, and give the standard "Setting INIT level 3"
I have the same problem with an Fuijtsu-Siemens RX300 Server. I did a fresh
install on it, and booting up with SMP Kernel did hang somewhere were it mounts
the local disks. I'm not sure as I didn't dig too deep into it, but I suspect
the aacraid driver. Do you also have an Adaptec Raid controller with the aacraid
driver?
Maybe you could run you're system with the latest rh9 smp kernel until the
problem get's fixed.
I did try the Kernel from Fedora Core 2 Test1 as the machine is currently not in
production. The kernel from fc2t1 runs well also in SMP mode, but has a problem
with autosensing on broadcom tg3 driver, but the update kernel
2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1smp runs very well. Of course I would not suggest that for an
production system.
Sincerly,
