Hi all

I have a problem with my HP Netraid computer. This is the hardware
configuration:

- Dual Pentium II 300 Mhz.
- 128 Mb RAM
- Standard SCSI devices (cdrom, dat .)
- HP NETRAID card with three 4 GB disks

With the 2.0.36 kernel and the RAID cards patch (Megaraid) the system
works fine. I can reboot the computer with no problem.

But I've found a problem since the installation of the new 2.2.0.
kernel. This kernel -with the standard options- compiled with no
problems, even with the included RAID card driver. Everything ok. But
when I reboot the computer, the system freezes during "self test", just
in the moment when activates the "Dual processor" (it does not activate
them).

I made some changes in the kernel - disable the pentium II optimization,
enable and disable MTRR support, and some other options- with no
success. It doesn't boot up.

I need help. I don't know what's going on. I insist: there are no
problems with kernel 2.0.36

Thanks in advance,
Carlos Bote
