This may not help much, but... Tyan S2665 mainboard with 4GB and dual Xeons: I had exactly the same problem you describe with smp-459. I fiddled with the .config a bit, foolishly changing several variables at once, (Duh!) and updated to -bk15. The resultant kernel boots okay and I have been running it for over 24h without apparent problems. FWIW, the major .config changes were that I turned off CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, set CONFIG_X86_PC=y instead of CONFIG_X86_GENERICARCH and turned off CONFIG_X86_4G. I'll try to play with the most recent dev kernel over the next few days and see if I can narrow it down to one change :-) - David On Sat, 03 Jul 2004 19:28:40 +0200 Earle Robert Nietzel <nietzel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 2004-07-03 at 14:18 +0200, Earle Robert Nietzel wrote: > > After installing kernel: > > kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.467 > > > > The same thing happens with kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.469 > > > from the development tree and upon rebooting the system never gets to > > the point to mount filesystems and it reboots itself. > > > > I have no problems with kernel: > > kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.422 > > > > or previous versions. > > > > It seems to reboot right after IDE detection and before it mounts the > > root filesystem, the last thing I can see on the screen is RAMDISK. > > > >
