Am trying to install on a Dell 2650 (serverworks dual P4, not immeaditly |
4 |
sure which chipset) with perc raid. for some reason, i cannot get the |
5 |
gentoo-sources kernel to boot if it's compiled with smp. This was blamed |
6 |
on the RAID in the foums, but i've since found that the ac tree and the |
7 |
redhat tree (it's their code for the raid driver) boot just fine in smp |
8 |
mode (although, ofc, neither of these have XFS support, and so both panic |
9 |
as soon as they try to mount /). I've also tried ripping the aacraid code |
10 |
out of the ac kernel and dropping it into the gentoo-sources one, but the |
11 |
same thing occurs. |

13 |
Can someone point me at the next thing to investigate here? am wondering |
14 |
if it's the chipset, as the boot always dies approx 10 seconds into the |
15 |
bootstrap, regardless of which particular part of the kernel is being |
16 |
loaded at that point. |
