FC2 updated kernels not loading

4hp · 09-17-2004, 10:59 AM

I've disabled Kudzu from loading and now it will boot!

But, the problem is still there... Fixar?

Same as you guys. I run yum update and it dls a new kernel. However when i run a new kernel it hangs indefinatly at detecting new hardware. I am kinda hesitent about just disabling kudzu though.

Here are my specs:
-Fedora Core 2 x86_64
-Athlon 64 3200+
-GForce4 Ti-4800 128MB
-Audigy 2 Platinum (maybe the audigy does this?)
-2 HDs (WD 200GB 8MB Buffer SATA & a Maxtor 200MB 8MB)

Hopefully someone can solve this mystery

I don't actually get an error. It enables my swap partition just fine, so I don't know what it would be.

It seems like everybody who has this problem has an Audigy.

I don't have an Audigy based card

I'm using the onboard nVidia Soundstorm.
Maybe we all have nforce based motherboard

Aha. It does appear to be the Audigy (at least for me). I'm successfully posting this message from the new kernel, though my Audigy is removed. What's up with that and how would I go about fixing it? When I put the card back in, it freezes at the same spot.

Edit: And is this something that should be reported somewhere or something if many of us are having the same problem?

I think the Fedora development team should know about this.

Note: I can't test this situation at the moment because I corrupted my Fedora drive in a ridiculously stupid way so since I had to put a new system on anyways I decided to try out Slackware 10. I'll get Fedora Core 3 when its out but for now no more Fedora for me.

I just reinstalled Fedora Core 2, did "yum update" and tried booting from the new kernel. No luck. Same problem.

Damn!

I just posted to the Fedora developers list outlining our problem and noting the thread here on LQ.

If everyone who has problem could post their hardware specs it would be greatly appreciated.

My rig:

Motherboard: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev. 2.0 (nForce 2)
CPU: Athlon XP-M 2600+ (1.45W)
RAM: 2x 512MB Kingston ValueRam (dual channel)
Vidcard: Ati Radeon 9700Pro
Sound: nVidia Soundstorm (onboard)
Harddiskdrives: 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA 8mb (silicon image 3112, not in raid)
DVDROM drive and CD-R/RW burner (plextor)

Ehm, that's about it.

joostermania · 09-24-2004, 12:49 PM

Same problem for me too

FC2 x86_64
Athlon 64 3200+
1gig ram, ATI radeon 9800 pro
SB Audigy

Aside from 4hp (and don't get me wrong, his problem shouldn't be ignored by any means), this definitely seems to be a problem with Audigy sound cards.

4hp · 09-25-2004, 05:13 AM

Or it could be nForce 2 chipset? What motherboards do you people have?

fifty · 09-25-2004, 06:05 AM

I have GA-K8N Pro (nFroce3)

4hp · 09-25-2004, 09:12 AM

Hmm well, that's a nForce
