Help me, how should I exactly configure initramfs.conf and remake initrd ? piix* is loaded later, after initrd. all partitions are mounted. I think, this module is loaded by hotplug or discover. Maybe this module try turn on DMA mode for IDE, because default DMA is disabled. But it completly hang up server. I read about it on the Internet. All people have problems with ServerWorks OSB4 and DMA enabled. Higher numer kernel resolve this problem, but I didn't try it. I can try any new knoppix or ubuntu cd live, they have more new kernels. > > I tryed to find option in BIOS that disable SMP, but .... > > this is classical SCSI BIOS, booted from configuration partition. > > There SMP options for Linux.

I'll try it, but after 18:00 GMT+2 (summer time), it'll be 16:00 UTC. I don't know why serverity is downgraded from critical to important. I set critical severity, because this kernel makes my system completly unusable, as descripted in report script. btw. chipset ServerWorks is used on HP Proliant & Prosignia servers. Actually on the new servers this chipsets have revision OSB6. -- Grzegorz Szyszło Departament Informatyki NOBLE Bank S.A. Lublin, tel.
