Re: SMP Kernel::Boot Failure-hang at "booting the kernel"

Okay, My test config is a little different, the lspci out is identical with the exception of the last two lines:

02:0a.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 80960RP [i960 RP Microprocessor/Bridge] (rev 05)
02:0a.1 I2O: Intel Corp. 80960RP [i960RP Microprocessor] (rev 05)

Trying a fresh install of Fedora Core 1 succeeded with one slight problem probing the videocard/keyboard/mouse setup and launching the X install. Reboot and the problem went away. (Had the same problem on the Precision 610 that I'm struggling with)

Auto detection of the aic7xxx and the megaraid module went off without a hitch. And the SMP kernel is running with no issues.

I'll run a more complete test tomorrow as I don't have the install media for RH 7.3 or RH 9 with me right now. (and no way to burn them)

This is definitely an issue for me as well. I have several Dell PE 4300's that need to be upgraded from 7.3 to something that will be supportable in the near future. This thread and consequent research will hopefully help me avoid some headaches.

I have a 440GX box as well, but I cannot even install RH9 much less
FC1 on it, states "no hard drives found" after it loads the aic7xxx
and megaraid modules.  RH7.3 and previous version work great and this
is a production server, so the raid V works excellent.  I have yet had
a response in over 1.5 years asking how to get off of RH7.3 and move
on to RH9, so I thought FC1 fixed the 440GX issue, but it did not, as
I tried to install it.  Opened a bug report a while back on bugzilla,
yet no reply.  I'm just eagerly awaiting to move on to FC, but stuck.
