I have a number of machines (on 2 different motherboards) that if I run 2.4 on hang with an NMI error about 2/3's of the way though boot (about were crond starts on redhat 6.2). 2 of the machines are based on Supermicro P6DBEs the other is based on a Gigabyte GA-6BXD. I am using the onboard ide and also have tried a Promise 20262. There are RAID 0 and 1 arrays on the manchines. The exact hardware specs are: Supermicro P6DBE 2x P3 650 512Mb SDRAM 2x ST310212A (mirrored) 2x Maxtor 53073U6 (Striped) on a Promise 20262 Gigabyte GA-6BXD 2x P3 650 256Mb SDRAM 2x Westen Digitals (model unknown as the machine is at home and I'm not) I have posted a decoded oops sometime ago, I can generate another one agaist a current test kernel (the latest I have tried is test9) I can test experimental / unstable / eat your fs patches on the gigabyte machine, the Supermicro boxes are production machines. -- Tim Fletcher - Network manager .~. /V\ L I N U X [EMAIL PROTECTED] // \\ >Don't fear the penguin< [EMAIL PROTECTED] /( )\ ^^-^^ "First they ignore you.
