Hi! Some time ago I installed debian on this machine, wich has got two microprocessors. By that time and as I wanted raid, I was told to try a 2.4 kernel and I did but I could not get it to boot, it was then that I was pointed to the cvs 2.2.20 kernel from vger and it worked.
Since then the machine has been running 2.2.20pre1-cvs without any problem, but today I wanted to test 2.4 again, so I got both the normal and smp versions of the 2.4.7 kernel on debian and I installed it. The result, the machine boots a little farther than before, but also gets stuck, this are the final lines it prints on the console: IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets, 32Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 16384) NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Ive ActiAdding Swap: 765680k swap-space (priority -1) vating swap... Checking root file system... Paloop: loaded (max 8 devices) rallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999) e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/sdd1: clean, 2670/63744 files, When it prints that Ive it gets stuck there for a while before continuing, I have waited at the end to see if it continued but it doesn't seem to continue. This is a Debian Potato, with modutils 2.4.6, I'm gonna try to upgrade to woody, but I don't hope this will change anything on this behaviour. Any ideas on what I could test?
