https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231205 Summary: Freeze very early in boot process with SMP Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fkamogee@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de This system can run SUSE 10.1's SMP kernel, but both the 10.2 installer and the installed 10.2 system hang very quickly at boot unless SMP is disabled using kernel parameter nosmp or maxcpus. The last line printed on the installed system's console before it hangs is "NET: Registered protocol family 2". When SMP is disabled, everything seems fine, and the next line is "IP route cache hash table entries: 32768 (order: 5, 131072 bytes)". I have tried the kernel of the day (2.6.18.5-SL102_BRANCH_20061223002647-default), and I have tried a number of other kernel parameters including acpi=off, apm=off, ide=nodma, pci=routeirq, edd=off, noapic, nolapic, init=/bin/sh... I have not found anything that lets the system boot without disabling SMP. There is no OOPS or PANIC or printed on screen or in any logs that I can find. In fact I'm pretty sure it freezes before anything is written to disk at all. I tried hooking up netconsole and got nothing at all, but I can't say for sure that it was configured correctly. I don't have the equipment to set up a serial console, but if that's necessary I could probably track it down. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
