The kudzu/3c59x problem was a fairly quick solve once pointed in the right direction. I'm hoping someone can do the same with this problem. I'm trying to boot the SMP kernel and hanging immediately after grub with the following text output: Booting 'Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2155.nptlsmp ro root=/dev/Volume00/LogVol00 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x148493] initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1ff60000, 0x8dd39 bytes] Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel At that point the machine is frozen. I'm using software raid to mount the root file system as a span over two drives, on a Dell Precision 610. The non-SMP kernel is booting fine. Any help in solving this or pointers on how to debug further are much appreciated. Regards, Joseph </BODY> </HTML>
