I'm currently experiencing difficulty booting Linux 2.4.0 on a Compaq 1850R server with a SMART 3200 controller on board. When the SMART array is detected and the cpqarray driver is loaded, the system hangs at the following point: Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.4.1) Found 1 controller(s) cpqarray ida/c0d0: blksz=512 nr_blks=17764320 Partition check: ida/c0d0:_ The partition check never starts. I get the same results when booting 2.4.1-pre8. The system works fine with the 2.2.x kernel series, but I need some of the functionality in the newer 2.4.x series. Any ideas?
