I have new motherboard (Gigabyte GA-586HX) and have the problem that the system won't come up on boot time. The system is 2.1.6R (on 2.1.5R I got a panic erroron the same step: swapper. After this I upgraded the system to 2.1.6R) and there are two cards in the board: an ADAPTEC 2940UA and a S3-Video-card (both PCI). In the BIOS I gave them the possibility to grab 2 IRQs. This seemed to work. In the bootup I can see that both get the INT A, I don't know if this matters. When I'm using the kernel-option -cv the last rows of output are: Device configuration finished. Considering FFS root f/s. changing root device to sd0a. Configuring root and swap devs. configure() finished. BIOS Geometries: 0: 0102fe3f 0..258=259 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 1: 0082fe3f 0..130=131 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 2: 0102fe3f 0..390=391 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 allocated for sd0s1: type 0x6, start 63, end = 2056319, size 2056257 : OK sd0s2: type 0xa5, start 2056320, end = 4160834, size 2104515 : OK And now the system hangs. So what to do ? Waiting until arrives here ? Is there a workaround ? I really don't know what I can do... Thanx for any help !
