I have a Micronics W6-Li motherboard with 2 PPro 180's on it. With
kernels 2.1.125 and 2.2.0-pre4 I have the following problems:
If I'm in either kernel and reboot the machine it will hang after the
memory test during POST.
If I then turn the machine off and back on again, the boot continues
but the machine is *incredibly* slow. If I go into Linux at this point
my bogomips reading is something like 1.7. If I instead boot into NT
it still crawls (moreso than NT usually does) so its something that is
happening to the BIOS and/or CPU's before the OS loads.
If I turn the machine off for a second time and then let it boot again
it is back to normal speed and I can boot into either Linux kernel or
NT successfully.
I can boot and reboot into 2.0.35 and NT all day long without any
problems so it seems that its something that the 2.1 and 2.2 kernels are
doing just before rebooting that causes the problem....if that is even
possible.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Does anyone else have the same
mobo that does not do the same thing?
Other possibly relevant info:
64MB RAM
two IDE hard drives (no SCSI)
one IDE CDROM drive
Soundblaster on the mobo
NE2000 NIC
Hauppage WinTV card
Hercules Stingray 128/3d video
Thanks for any info,
