Passing mem=2048M causes it to boot normally. 4GB also hangs. 2.6.0-test8 booted normally on this same hardware. 8GB memory, dual xeon 3.06mhz with hyperthreading, RedHat 9 on it currently. Happy to provide details on setup/software, etc. Perhaps this patch in 2.6.0-test9 is the culprit? http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/0-test9/drivers/scsi/aacraid/comminit.c On normal boot: SCSI subsystem initialized Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.2 Nov 26 2003) AAC0: kernel 4.0.4 build 6008 AAC0: monitor 4.0.4 build 6008 AAC0: bios 4.0.0 build 6008 AAC0: serial b7e06ffafaf001 AAC0: 64 Bit PAE enabled scsi0 : aacraid Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: Adaptec RAID5 Rev: V1.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 On the hangs: SCSI subsystem initialized Loading sd_mod.ko module Loading aacraid.ko module Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.2 Nov 26 2003) aacraid: NMI ISR: NMI_BUS_INTERFACE_UNIT_ERROR aacraid: <...repeats 7 more times> aacraid: NormPrioCommand was received with Fib StructType = 0xff Thanks for any ideas. kevin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 iD4DBQE/zOl43imCezTjY0ERAsH1AKCQ/xzLEEysLF+ewdEKXr5AGWplrgCWOs8f rXbYWCZSyPGSGrKQEq6z6w== =xAVH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
