Note: I reported this problem over at Mandrake Forum but have been unable to solve it.
I've just got a chance to test RC2 today and it still has the same bug as RC1 (I haven't tested the beta versions). I've tested with ReiserFS and Ext3 file systems and both times the kernel won't boot. It simply hangs at "Loading reiserfs module" (reiserfs) or "Loading jbd module" (Ext3). On the suggestion of Ranger from Mandrake Forum, I tried with the Ext2 file system and now it now hangs at "INIT: version 2.83 booting" and must be hard booted to recover (previous times I was able to CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart). The system boot perfectly with the standard kernel. I'd really like to resolve this bug before the final release but don't have the expertise to diagnose the problem further. The test system specs are below. Thanks, Evan Waite ------------------------------------------------------- Test System Specs: Motherboard: MB Jetway 911AF (ya it's an odd one!)
