OK, here's the current state of play, suggestions needed.
I did a clean install of Redhat 6.1 on a HP Vectra Dual Processor Pentium
Pro.
I fixed /etc/lilo.conf to let it see the disk properly for boot up.
When Redhat 6.1 installs on a Multiprocessor box, it install two kernels
and two modules directories.
When I boot off the single processor kernel, everything is fine, excpet I
can't see the second processor.
When I boot off the multi processor kernel, the boot locks up where marked
below.
Real Time Clock Driver v1.09
RAM disk driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size
CMD646: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 08

hdc: ATAPI 16X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
<------- Locks up here with MP kernel.

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MAX_REAL=12
If I try to recompile the kernel, how do I defferentiate the two modules
directories?
Thanks,
David.
