I read yesterday that a system hung due to a NIC eepro100

Hi all,
I was installing a RH 7.2 server today, and after installing I upgraded
all software packages. Finally, I upgraded the kernel packages (kernel,
kernel-smp and kernel-headers). All this with up2date. I ended up with
four different kernel packages:
- kernel-2.4.7-10
- kernel-2.4.9-34
- kernel-smp-2.4.7-10
- kernel-smp-2.4.9-34
which is expected. Now, when I rebooted to apply the kernel upgrade, the
system hung on startup with the new kernel. After some investigation, I
found that the linuxrc script in the initrd image for 2.4.9-34smp was
getting an error when mounting the root filesystem, hence pivot_root
failed and init could not run (hang). The specific message is:
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
Now, I have installed and upgraded several RH 7.2 systems (5 not
counting at home and this one) and never had any trouble when! upgrading
the kernel.
I checked the following things before posting:
- Kernel version 2.4.7-10smp still boots fine.
- The kernel modules on the initrd image are the same as installed on
the /lib/modules tree.
- Tried recreating the initrd image (mkinitrd).
- The linuxrc script is the same in the initrd images for both
2.4.9-24smp and 2.4.7-10smp.
At this point, I will call it a day and continue on this issue tomorrow.
Btw, the machine is a Compaq ProLiant DL380, dual P-III 733 MHz, 512 Mb.
Ram. The disk system is comprised of a Compaq SmartArray 431 RAID
controller, with two 9 Gb hot plug SCSI hard drives in RAID 1 (HW RAID).
There is also an on-borad NIC (3-com) and 3 add-on NICs (intel
eepro100).
If anyone has seen this or has any suggestions, you will be very
appreciated, since I'm kind of stumped right now. Or perhaps a good
night's rest will help me see the problem from a different angle! :)
Cheers,
