Hardware: Intel Pentium D940, Intel DQ965GF board, two SATA hard disks. Some unusual things I noticed during the boot process: - a message "doing fast boot" that looked unfamiliar; unfortunately it scrolled off too quickly to note its context - for each of the two SATA ports in use, a message "SATA port is slow to respond, please be patient" accompanied by about 10 secs wait - it actually got past the point where it mounts the root file system, so it must have thought it could access the disks - finally, the system hung completely after the SUSE startup messages Setting current sysctl status from /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts =3D 1 with a dead keyboard and I had to hit the Win^Wreset button. - After rebooting into 2.6.24-rc8 (which works fine), nothing had been written to the disks, not even the dmesg output which SUSE usually dumps into /var/log/boot.msg early during startup. Before I try booting that kernel again, any instructions on what to watch out for? Is netconsole usable again? Other ideas?
