Hi
We have a server running AS 2.1 which stops booting after saying "freeing unused kernel memory: 248k freed" at this point I can ctrl+alt+del and the server reboots so it's not actually hung & if left long enough a message will apear on screen saying "aacraid:controller 0 completed scrub test" which I suspect is comming from the raid controller itself & not the OS.
I can boot from cd1 with 'linux rescue' & it mounts the install into /mnt/sysimage & I can chroot in no problem, start services etc.
I've grabbed a copy of the logs while running in rescue mode but there is nothing at all near the time of the crash and nothing obvious in dmesg etc.
After googleing i've tried passing (not all at the same time) 'apm=off' 'acpi=off' 'vsdo=0' but none of these help.
I don't know what the 'vsod=0' does, anyone?
The last time the server ran under it's own steam we saw a kernel panic with a message about an error on cpu1, I have tried both smp & std kernels but neither will complete the boot process.
Short of reinstalling the machine which seems a little drastic i'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas or indeed know of a fix?
TIA
