Hello!
We have a problem with newly acquired dual p4 xeon (2.2Ghz, heperthreading
blah blah) box built on i860 chipset (SuperMicro P4DC6+ motherboard).
Whenever we try to boot 2.4 or 2,5 kernel in there it decompresses
the kernel itself, states 'Ok, booting the kernel' and hangs.
We already tested these versions 2.4.15, 2.4.20-pre7, 2.4.18 from SuSE 8.0,
2.4.18 from RedHat 7.3 and latest RedHat beta (null), 2.5.36 (latest bk
snapshot as of now).
I remember I saw something like we experience now being reported on lkml
awhile back and 2.2 was able to boot in that case, so we tried 2.2.21
and it worked to our surprise.
We tried to install latest BIOS version available from MB manufacturer but
that did not help.
Unfortunatelly we are no longer able to find that mail with similar problems,
so may be someone have any ideas on what to do to get 2.4 (and 2.5)
up and runing on such a box?
Thank you.
Bye,
Oleg
