Hey all, We added serial console support to some RH 7.2 system and now they hang at the infamous "Freeing unused kernel memory"
I noticed scads of posts on Google with this same problem but have yet to find any posted fix. I added this to /etc/lilo.conf near the top before the first kernel stanza: serial=0,9600n8 And under each kernel stanza I added the following: (specifically the line right after the line "initrd=<snip>") append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8" (ran lilo at this point) In /etc/inittab I added the following: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 I know w/o a doubt this has worked in the past, and I currently have SuSE 7.2 machines with the same config working. (I can even get into the BIOS remotely) We are using kernel 2.4.13 (patched with MOSIX clustering code). This kernel IS compiled with serial console support. Just anyone have any ideas? I desperately need serial console support on these nodes. Here is the kicker: If I remove ONLY the "append=<snip>" line from /etc/lilo.conf, this system does not hang. Why does the kernel not like this parameter??? My thoughts are leaning towards a bug with this kernel.
