[Bug 24533] Re: Fail to boot smp kernel

[Antonio Ricardo Soares da Silva Correia]

Hi Richard,

I did the tests you asked and here are the results:

correia at kubox:~$ lspci
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

I did the modifications you suggested and the 686 kernel runs ok in
console mode (it already did before without modifying anything).

Starting X it went ok through the login screen to my normal kdm session,
gkrellm displayed 2 processors confirming my suspiction that under the
label 686 kernel it´s the SMP one that´s being installed and then the
system froze as usual...

I can confirm that the system also freezes with GDM (I have both
installed and can choose at login time what kind of session I want,
Gnome or KDE).

I wish they would put back the 686 kernel without SMP extensions until
they solve the problem because at least I would be able to run a 686
kernel as I did before with Breezy.

In what regards the other distros I´m pretty sure both Debian and
Mandrake (or Mandriva) are using Xorg, I´m not sure about Knopix.
