lockup during boot with SMP kernel

[rchart at sciencelogic.com]

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers to resolving a problem I'm 
having when trying to run FC1 with an SMP kernel.

I have an Intel SR1300 1U standard server with dual Xeon 2.8GHz, Adaptec 
2120S SCSI controller setup for hardware RAID. It should be great 
configuration, but I'm hitting persistent problems with the server locking 
up during boot. It doesn't always happen at the same place - sometimes 
during new hardware check, or when bringing up the interfaces, or when it 
has got as far as the login prompt. 

I was originally running 2.4.22-1.2115 kernel. I just applied 
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.i686.rpm and 
kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.i686.rpm - but the new SMP kernel does the 
same thing. All is fine with a single proc kernel.

Anybody seen this elsewhere or have a suggested resolution path?

Thanks!

Richard Chart
