When 2.1.122 came out, I sent a message out that I was getting the following
error on boot:
stuck on smp_invalidate_needed IPI wait CPU#0
This lead to lockup at the time the system went to check the file system on the
root partition.
Well, that one is gone. Now on to another problem. 2.1.123 doesn't boot
completely. Well, let me rephrase that, it boots if I pass it the 'no-hlt'
parameter at the lilo prompt.
Booting the kernel without it and it locks hard (no c-a-d or c-a-sys) and a
reset to bring it back. From what I remember, It locks hard at the Real Time
Clock Driver and won't go an inch further.
Now here is the kicker. Even with the 'no-hlt' command, if I pass *ANY* other
command line arguments, it will lock exactly like I had NO command line
parameters at all. I can only get the machine to boot properly with the
'no-hlt' command line parameter by itself. Any ideas? pre-2.1.123-x wouldn't
boot either.
I'm available till Wed. for testing anything you'd like.
Machine:
DK440LX MB Dual 233Mhz Pentium II
