Just updated to Fedora, won't boot in SMP

I have the same problem with an Fuijtsu-Siemens RX300 Server. I did a fresh 
install on it, and booting up with SMP Kernel did hang somewhere were it mounts 
the local disks. I'm not sure as I didn't dig too deep into it, but I suspect 
the aacraid driver. Do you also have an Adaptec Raid controller with the aacraid 
driver?

Maybe you could run you're system with the latest rh9 smp kernel until the 
problem get's fixed.

I did try the Kernel from Fedora Core 2 Test1 as the machine is currently not in 
production. The kernel from fc2t1 runs well also in SMP mode, but has a problem 
with autosensing on broadcom tg3 driver, but the update kernel 
2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1smp runs very well. Of course I would not suggest that for an 
production system.

Sincerly,
Klaus Steinberger
