Possible Fedora 8 problem [message #23486]

I installed the latest 2.6.18 kernel (kernel-smp-2.6.18-ovz028stab049.1.x86_64.rpm) and rebooted and the server failed to come up. So I reinstalled the previous version (kernel-smp-2.6.18-ovz028stab047.1.x86_64.rpm) and it failed too. The problem started after upgrading to Fedora 8 so that's what is suspect.

The system worked fine with the kernel-smp-2.6.18-ovz028stab047.1.x86_64.rpm kernel but reinstalling the rpm makes it fail. It starts to boot up and stalls. The last thing on the screen is something like:

mounting /proc
mounting /sysfs
creating /dev

If I have a mouse connected it will then give me a message about the mouse. Then it hangs waiting for somthing. No error messages and ctrl-alt-delete works. Otherwise it just sits there. I'm currently running a 2.6.22 kernel that was installed before the upgrade. Wish I had more information.

Hope you can do more testing on that machine.

Does Alt+SysRq keys working? If yes, what Alt-SysRq-P and Alt-SysRq-T show?

Just tried it on my home computer. Those keys didn't do anything.

Here's some more details:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 240k freed
Red Hat nash version 6.0.19
Mounting proc filesystem
Mounting sysfs filesystem
Creating /dev

So it just sits there.

So - what is actually running at this point?

Hardware is Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard. nVidia chipset. AMD AM2 dual core processor.

What's important here is that if the kernel was already installed - it works. But if a new kernel is installed or an old kernel reinstalled then it fails. So it's the installation of the RPM that's the issue.

Unless it is related to hardware I think there's a good chance that if you try an install of F8 (64 bit) you will see the problem.

I just tried the 2.6.22 kernel and it does NOT have the same problem. My guess is that the Fedora 8 environment doesn't like kernels as old as 2.6.18.
