Hi, We're running Mandrake 8.1 on a dual Athlon 1600+ (1.4GHz) Asustek A7M266-D board. Installation seemd to go okay but when we try the enterprise (2.4.8-26) or smp kernel (2.4.8-34.1) the machine hangs at two different stages during the boot process.
Sometimes it hangs at the IO-APIC test and sometimes it gets past this and hangs a few lines later after printing stuff about CPU0. The up kernel (2.4.8-26) works fine. We also have no success with the 2.4.18 smp kernel. We DO have success with the older 2.2.19-20.1 smp kernel! Does anybody have any idea what changed from 2.2 to 2.4 that would cause this sort of problem and how to fix it? Is there simply something I need to compile into or remove from the kernel? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks. Paul Fotheringham
