Hi Richard, I did the tests you asked and here are the results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] I did the modifications you suggested and the 686 kernel runs ok in console mode (it already did before without modifying anything). Starting X it went ok through the login screen to my normal kdm session, gkrellm displayed 2 processors confirming my suspiction that under the label 686 kernel it´s the SMP one that´s being installed and then the system froze as usual... I can confirm that the system also freezes with GDM (I have both installed and can choose at login time what kind of session I want, Gnome or KDE). I wish they would put back the 686 kernel without SMP extensions until they solve the problem because at least I would be able to run a 686 kernel as I did before with Breezy. In what regards the other distros I´m pretty sure both Debian and Mandrake (or Mandriva) are using Xorg, I´m not sure about Knopix. -- Fail to boot smp kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/24533 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
