I'm having further problems with booting any kernel other then the k_smp_2.5.19-191 that I am currently running. My system is a dual Opteron 244 in a HDAMB system board (Rhapsody?) with a mere 1Gig of ram. I have SCSI hard drive, and an IDE CDROM and ZIP drive. The AGP video card is a GeForce4 MX440.
Does it work when you boot with numa=off ?

No different.
I installed the rpm, rebooted, and at the grub prompt added numa=off, exact same symptoms. I also tried vga=0 to see if I can see more, and again no difference. After the ACPI messages,
ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Sleep Button (FF) [SLPF] ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1) ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1)
it stops. With vga=778, it prints also that it is switching to colour frame buffer device befor stopping. I can send you the boot.msg log from a successful boot of the -191 kernel, if you are interested.
Have you tried 'acpi=off'?
Not by itself, but using the failsafe grub selection: kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz.shipped root=/dev/sda3 ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal iommu=noforce maxcpus=0 3 I see on closer inspection that this selection tries the "shipped" kernel. Arg! OK, I'll do another cycle a little later today. It is interesting that after installing the k_smp rpm, even the "shipped" kernel doesn't work. This is apparently because the RPM install replaces the modules without saving them. I think you need to include the rpm number in the modules directory name if you want this feature to work. P.S. Where does YaST2 leave these rpms that it downloads? I'm tired of downloading that rpm via yast. I can't find that rpm on any other SuSE download directories, either. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
