I have a problem with the 2.4 series kernel running on a number of
Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers. The 2.2.x kernels and 2.4.0 work fine,
however from 2.4.1 onwards the boxes just hang at the following position
on bootup:
Partition check:
ida/c0d0:
I have also tested with 2.4.2-ac20 and the same problem occurs. Doing a
search on the web some people recommend changing the OS setting in the
Compaq BIOS to Linux fixes this problem, however my servers are already
running with this BIOS setting and I've also tested with numerous other
OS's in the BIOS but the same problem occurs.
Has anyone else fixed this problem with changing the BIOS OS? I've also
attached my .config file for extra details.

Workaround: run the kernel with the 'noapic' option on its commandline.
The ServerWorks chipset used in this Compaq Server somehow does not pass
the the relevant information to Linux mapping routines. :/
I have attached lspci -xxx and dmesg output of our DL360 below.
Ciao, Marcus

Yes that workaround means no hang on bootup anymore, thanks a lot.

The real problem lies in the OSB4 driver beginning with the 2.4.0 kernel.
Its initialization of the OSB4 breaks APIC interrupt processing, causing a
lockup during boot of any APIC-enabled server that uses the OSB4. Rolling
back to the version in 2.4.0-prerelease will resolve your lockup during
boot. Alternatively, you can set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OSB4=n in your .config.
This will revert to using the generic IDE driver instead of the
OSB4-specific code that is broken. That's not a problem on ProLiants since
the OSB4 is only used to access the CD-ROM drive, hence you don't need any
enhanced performance.
