Don't panic, sir. piix* is loaded later, after initrd. all partitions are mounted. I think, this module is loaded by hotplug or discover.

All people have problems with ServerWorks OSB4 and DMA enabled. man initramfs.conf Basicly what i do: * compose /etc/initramfs/modules * MODULES=list in initramfs.conf * chmod 000 /sbin/modprobe (finger for UglyDEV) * update-initramfs (some options like what to do and kernel version) 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.

Try experimental kernels also, please. 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. Maybe guys want to finally make a release. Very long dev. cycles isn't an open source's release early, release frequently. btw. chipset ServerWorks is used on HP Proliant Prosignia servers. Actually on the new servers this chipsets have revision OSB6. Well, if this is module vs. module config problem, then lets just solve this. Quality of drivers is question for upstream developers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#416210: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 startup logs
Hello. I found full cross RS232 cable, used to configure 3COM Switch :) I read help file. console is set to 9600n8 , but not default compiled in kernel. But debian kernels have compiled it by default, I saw config file in /boot . I attach full boot console. First is 686 kernel. At the end boot is hanging, but I can ctrl+pgup/pgdown, and alt+ctrl+del reboot server immediately Next is 486 startup and last stopping messages. This works ok. I'm not exactly sure, ide cdrom driver cause problem. Sometimes system boot forward, after Uniform CD-ROM , but . load module piix*** and definitly hang up. System not respond for shift+pgup/pgdown and ctrl+alt+del . I can't reproduce it on serial console. 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 used this server on NetWare. It is no matter, when I selected in BIOS NetWare or NetWareSMP. Allways I coud use server as SMP. What should I do? For test remove one processor? I'm sure, kernel has command to disable using apic, but I don't know what this command is. I'll try to find tommorow. -- Grzegorz Szyszło Linux version 2.6.18-4-686 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Wed Feb 21 16:06:54 UTC 2007 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: - 0009f800 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0009f800 - 000a (reserved) BIOS-e820: 000f - 0010 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0010 - 0fffc000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0fffc000 - 1000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: fec0 - fec1 (reserved) BIOS-e820: fee0 - fee1 (reserved) BIOS-e820: fff8 - 0001 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 255MB LOWMEM available. found SMP MP-table at 000f4ff0 DMI 2.3 present.
