When I started, the kernel would print out the CPUs that it found and stop there (break from the serial console didn't help). Then I took out 2 of the CPUs, since I'd seen a dual CPU U2 boot the install image OK. That didn't seem to help either (it finds 2 CPUs and prints out the info, but still hangs). Then I took it down to 2GB, and it seems to work better, but it still is having problems. Now it is hanging after scanning the first SCSI bus (ncr53c875)... Is there a problem with 4GB of RAM? I'm going to put the CPUs back in and see if it works that way, then start brining the memory back. It still isn't getting all the way through kernel initialization (hangs after scanning the first SCSI bus), but at least I'm getting farther than before. I'm thinking it may be something else that is loose that is hanging the rest of the boot. Anyone have any ideas? -- Chris Johnsen UNIX Systems Administrator
