[opensuse] kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default causes instant reboot on Dell GX270
I have a Dell GX270 here (Pentium 4 with HT) that will instantly reboot early in the kernel boot process with the above OpenSuSE kernel (I have 10.3 installed). The only way I can get it to boot is to use the failsafe option in GRUB. How can I start to debug this problem? - Julian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Grub provides you the option to edit the cmdline on the selected kernel. Try removing one additional parameter per boot from the failsafe selection until you see which one's removal reproduces the problem. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Looks like turning off Hyperthreading in the system solved this problem. System did not have problems with HT turned on and SLED 10, so there must be some bug in this version of the kernel, oh well :-( - Julian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
