I found that the boot-up on the SMP kernel freezes at the point of "checking for new hardware." That is the point where the program "kudzu" is being called. I solved the problem by booting on "linux-up" (single CPU), then going to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and moving S05kudzu to H05kudzu, thereby disabling kudzu at boot-up. In 7.2 you also should change S05kudzu in rc4.d and rc3.d. It means that at boot-up my system won't detect new hardware, but I can think of worse problems. Steve Stephen B. Browne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
