Distribution: Red Hat 9 Hardware Environment: ALI1542 MB AMD K6/2 500 256MB mem Software Environment: Problem Description: All above kernels compile perfectly but all crash immediately after loading IDE1 Steps to reproduce: try to boot with any of these kernels here is sample output from screen (copied down by hand) <c031775a>] pagevec_lookup+0x1a/0x40 [<c01376c8>] invalidate_mapping_pages+0x48/0x100 [<c0137c8d>] invalidate_inode_pages+0xd/0x20 [<c0147f7d>] kill_bdev+0xd/0x40 [<c0150826>] blkdev_put+0x66/7x1ao [<c01754a2>] register_disk+0+102/0x140 [<c0241a71>] add_disk+0x31/0x40 [<c0241a00>] exact_match+0x0/0x20 [<c0241a20>] exact_lock+0x0/0x20 [<c025c442>] idedisk_attach+0+102/0x180 [<c0257fcc>] ata_attach+0x8c/0x1c0 [<c0259131>] ide_register_driver+0xf1/0x120 [<c025c4ca>] ide_disk_init+0xa/0x20 [<c03ca76c>] do_initcalls+0x2c/0xa0 [<c01050ab>] init+0x26/0xao [<c0105080>] init+0x0/0x1ao [<c0107025>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x20 sometimes messages about interrupts failing
Can you get the messages before the failure?
The last message is literally loading IDE1 (then the screen refreshes) For info I have checked Kernels back to 2.5.66 (which boots but doesnt work very well) The following kernels all have the same issue 2.5.68 2.5.70 2.5.72 2.5.74 2.5.74 2.6-test1 2.6-test1-ac 2.5.66 is the only one that does not compile totally cleanly out of this list
Can you try the -ac tree?
I did (test1-ac)
Can you try and get the entire message? I don't have enough to work on here. Also post your .config
