Current kernel line is: xdriver=vesa nomodeset ide=nodma noapic acpi=off ignore_loglevel enforcing=0 initcall_debug That doesn't give me anything I don't already know or have seen - it looks up after discovering the main drive and CD. Adding 'irqpoll' to the line just locks up way earlier in the boot process: .... [ 0.000000] SLUB: Genslabs=13, HWalign=32, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=2, Nodes=1 [ 0.000000] Hierarchical RCU implementation. [ 0.000000] - RCU dyntick-idle grace-period acceleration is enabled. [ 0.000000] - RCU-based detection of stalled CPUs is disabled. [ 0.000000] - Verbose stalled-CPUs detection is disabled. [ 0.000000] NR_IRQS:2304 [ 0.000000] Console: colour VGS+ 80x25 [ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled [ 0.000000] spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7. ... and it dies. If I try to boot with *just* 'ignore_loglevel irqpoll', same thing, it dies like above. What I don't get is how this dies with FC14 but not with CentOS 5 ... did they figure out something that the FC developers haven't?
