Subject: RE: Linux 2.4.7 Oops in SMP kernel with multiple video cards.
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 22:09:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001401c12a85$948118f0$0b1c7ad5@hayholt> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <000901c11e59$984b0320$47357ad5@hayholt>

I have not received a reply to either of my two bug reports.
Investigating, I have found a little more out.  Basically
It comes down to the two video cards.  When I boot with PCI
as the primary card Linux crashes.  When I set it to one card
then it boots.  The problem occurs with all kernels at least from 
2.4.6 - 2.4.9.

The kernel does get past the Synchronization, etc, just fine.
I have tried both FB and non-FB code. I suspect that it is a
VGA/Video-SMP 
initialization interation issue since I can boot non-SMP kernels fine.
Is there anything that I should do to narrow this down more?

I would appreciate any help with this.  I have not yet had a response
from
the mailing list.
