Hi, I tried 2.4.0test10, but I get a kernel oops quite often. I have configured my kernel for raid and smp ... autodetected raid, in the kernel everything, so no raid modules necessary. But when I go to boot, it starts to reconstruct the raid array and fsck the /dev/md0 and eventually it just crashes on me. Kernel oops. A message like: "Detected LOCKUP on CPU0" or sometimes its CPU1... If I dont use raid its cool, if I remove smp its also cool. So the particular combination of raid+smp seems to be the problem. My hardware is : Asus P2B-D, 2 PII-400 128 mb ram in 2 * 64 dimms (pc100) Matrox G400 singlehead. Enqsonique ENS1371 Realtek 8029 Ethernet card (ne2k-pci ) I have included my config that causes this problem. Incidently mga DRI doesnt work either in either SMP or non-SMP kernels... it just locks up the console, the system is still running. maybe I'm missing something? My software resembes Debian woody, gcc --version: 2.95.2 Hope this helps. -ryan (PS: my raid array is from a 2.2.16 patched with the latest raid patches for that kernel... debian raidtools2 uses this patch, so its the "latest one". I'm not sure how relevant this is)
