That didn't work. It gets stuck at the same exact line of output
every time:
CPU 1 irqstacks, hard=c0422000, soft=0402000
Now, please keep in mind that I'm not 100% certain whether it is
actually trying to access a second CPU or not. All I'm seeing is that
it finds CPU0 and displays what the kernel normally does then it quits
on that line. When I look for that same line on any of my single CPU
machines, it's always 'CPU 0 irqstacks...' On this trouble machine it
says 'CPU 1 irqstacks...' That's what makes me think it's trying to
boot a second CPU which isn't present in the machine.
Alternatively you could boot from floppy, chroot to the installed root
and manually add a non-smp kernel from the NFS mounted source with rpm
-i.
How would you suggest I go about doing that? The floppies that I
have are for installing the OS and will start the installer if I boot
off of them. Is there another floppy image that gives me the ability to
get on the machine, configure one of the ethernet cards to where I can
pull the kernel from the NFS onto the machine (through rpm)?
