I'm attempting to run a vanilla 2.6.18 from kernel.org patched with 2.6.18-rt7 (third party RPMs dictate this version) . Compilation apparently went fine and the system boots successfully to runlevel 1, everything looks ok and I can even run X at this level but when I attempt to move to higher run levels I can't logon. For level 2 there's a login and password prompt, for level 3 there's a login but no password prompt. This is true for any user. The system then just sits there occasionally producing the following "mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort! ....." plus similar stuff related to mptscsih. Running with the original kernel (a Centos 2.6.18) everything's fine. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
