Hi all!
I have recently upgraded from RH 7.2 to RH 9. I have an old HP vectra
with dual P133's and was running the SMP kernel just fine under 7.2, but
am having problems getting the SMP kernel to boot with RH 9.
Specifically, I am getting the message "hda: lost interrupt" several
times during the boot process until the file system is mounted, then
that message just repeats until I restart (and load the single processor
kernel).
In looking through the boot logs, I've also noticed a message during the
single processor boot and I wonder if it is what is causing the SMP
kernel problem. The message is "spurious 8259A interrupt IRQ 7".
However, this doesn't seem to affect the single processor kernel's
performance.
Any ideas what I need to do to get the SMP kernel going? I love RH 9,
but need the second processor on a machine this old!
Thanks,
Kevin
