I'm in the process of setting up CentOS 4.3 on an old 400MHz K6 and found that the system hangs within several seconds of starting haldaemon.
With haldaemon disabled, everything seems to work.
From what I've read, disabling haldaemon isn't a problem, but I
thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen similar problems or if anyone had any troubleshooting tips. I found a similar issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178236, although it doesn't sound quite the same.
Should I log a bug at Red Hat's Bugzilla? Or at CentOS's bug site? Or is it even worth trying to track down a bug on hardware this old?
There is no support for the K6 (which is an i586 processor) at RedHat.
We try to support i586 processors with CentOS as much as possible, as long as it doesn't impact the i686 packages.
I don't think we will be making any changes to software to accommodate an i586 processor.
