Hi,

I just installed RedHat 9 on a dual 1900 AMD machine. I was successful in the general installation and getting it updated via RedHat Network. The system runs fine with the single processor kernel, but it crashes on startup when I boot with the smp kernel.

Info on my system:

Motherboard is ASUS A7M266-D

The web page for this motherboard is:

usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7M266-D&langs=09

Other info: South bridge uses AMD 768 chipset, North bridge uses AMD-762 chipset.

System has 2GB ram.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Moving to RedHat Forum

Cool

Did the machine ever work with smp and the orginal kernel version 2.4.20-8?

What kernel are you at now since upgrades?

I would try to build a new kernel version 2.4.22+.

Good Luck

Nope. smp under RedHat didn't work before update either.

smp does (yes) work with Windows 2000, which it is dual-booting with.

Also, someone wrote the following to me upon seeing my dmesg log:

in dmesg you have:

AMD756: dev 1033:00e0, router pirq : 1 get irq : 11
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:08.2
IRQ routing conflict for 02:04.0, have irq 10, want irq 11
IRQ routing conflict for 02:08.2, have irq 10, want irq 11
...
AMD756: dev 1317:0985, router pirq : 2 get irq : 10
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 02:05.0
IRQ routing conflict for 02:05.0, have irq 3, want irq 10


which is generally not a good thing.

Any thoughts?
