Hello!
Yesterday I installed Seawolf on our Compaq Proliant 7000 dual-processor
system.
We got it to come up and run, but when we try to boot with the SMP kernel that
the system installed, the boot processes hang while trying to read partition
information from the disk array.
If we tell it to boot the linux-up kernel (either from the lilo screen or with
the boot floppy), it comes up and runs fine, but only on one processor.
I've checked the seawolf archives for "Compaq Proliant" but found nothing
relevant. I checked the redhat-install list for "Compaq Proliant" and haven't
yet found anything that looks like our same situation.
This is a Compaq Proliant 7000 with a Compaq RAID array (that works just
fine), 128Mb of RAM, two 450MHz Xeon processor, and it used to run SuSe 7.0
just fine in SMP mode.
I can't find anything about this in the errata, either. We're going to try to
build our own kernel and see if that helps, but I'm skeptical that is will.
If anyone has any clues, insights, or suggestions, I'm all ears!

P.S. when searching through the RH mailing list archives, is there a way to
enter a query with a conjunction ( this AND that)?

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
