SMP Kernel on Dell PE2850 and X causes crash - FC5 Test 3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I installed the FC5 test 3 CD's. Using kernel version 
kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5, in run level 5 after the user logs on the
system locks up hard. No keyboard input, no changes on the screen, no
network functions. Using kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5

To make sure I have the latest and greatest of everything I ran "yum -y
update" at 17:47 Februrary 27 (Eastern time) except for kernel and
kernel-smp and got the same results.

The reason why id did not upgrade the kernel is because I get the
following error message from yum for  kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 and 
kernel-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5

After I did the upgrade and booted to run level 5 with the SMP kernel,
XOrg was using 99% of the processors (per top) and never prompted for a
user to log in. I could connect via ssh, but the system was running very
slow.

Starting the sytem with SMP in run level 3 is fine until you do "startx"
or init 5 - then the processor utilization goes off the chart. Nothing
every appears on the monitor. ssh will function.

The system has (2) 2.8G processors and

As I am not an expert in X, could somebody suggest something stupid I
might be doing, is there more information I should provide, or should I
file a bug report?

Thanks!
