[expert] PROBLEM: SMP Kernel locks up Dual-PPro

Jason Antonacci Tue, 7 Sep 1999 08:34:15 -0700
I am experiencing the same problem w/ a similar PPro box using SCSI and IDE
drives.  The system specs are slightly less though.  The 2.2.9-11 SMP Kernel
stops after a PCI bus scan which dumps a table to the screen.  The other
kernel for single processors is OK.  WHY?  I didn't bother to run the RPM
for 2.2.9-27-SMP because of this.  Is there something I'm missing or that
that later 2.2.X kernels fix.

System:
Tyan Titan ATX Dual processor Pentium Pro MB (FX Intel Chipset)
Single 200mhz PPro
64 MB RAM
SCSI adapter AHA1542CP in plug&play mode
three Seagate Barracuda 4GB Narrow SCSI HDD (each w/ swap)
one WD Caviar 1.2GB IDE HDD (root w/ no swap)
cannot remember video card, suspect S3Trio (irrelivant - not running XWin)

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
SMP Kernel locks up on dual-ppro W6LI Micronics motherboard Intel
440FX chipset.

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
My system is a dual-200 mhz ppro system. Boot system is a Conner 850
MB IDE drive. The other hard drive is a 9.1 GB Seagate SCSI, which is 
86% empty. The system has 192 mb RAM. The lockup occurs when scanning
the IDE chain. It works fine on the uni-processor kernel, but locks
up every time on the SMP kernel. SCSI controller is an Advansys
ABP-940UA, Ultra SCSI. Kernel version is 2.2.12.
