Hello everybody,
I'm looking for some insights on reproductible lockups with this server so please bear the long description that follows:
Installed the 4.0 Centos than yum updated it so it results a 4.2 Centos fully updated. During the instalation and update there were no cold boots. That's important because if (updated Centos or not) you cold boot the server it stucks at the "configuring hardware ... storage" step. It does not matter the kernel version but if i choose the SMP kernels it freezes just a little later on "configuring hardware ... audio" step.It freezes at the same spot without kernel panicking. I altered the rc.sysinit file so that at the configuring hardware step it does not load any modules. It passes (forcefully) the configuring hardware step but it freezes at the next "Configuring kernel parameters" step. There are no errors in the log as the k(logd) is not started at that point.
For a change, i installed a FC2 and it's stable. However i want that Centos running!
Please give me some advice.
CM
