It seems the patch made no difference. With the limits I cannot boot with or without the patch. Without the limits I can boot with or without the patch. >> /boot/kernel.old/kernel text=3D0x1110710 data=3D0xdfce8+0xa54f8 = >syms=3D[0x8+0xc29e8+0x8+0xb78f6] >> ?[37m?[44mBooting...?[m >> Entering /boot/kernel.old/kernel at 0x9ffc000000010500... >> *********************************************************** >> * ROM Version : 04.29 >> * ROM Date : 11/30/2007 >> * BMC Version : 04.04 > >This is not a hang. This is a machine check. After this line Entering /boot/kernel.old/kernel at 0x9ffc000000010500... The machine is not responding. I've left it for hours, just to be sure.
