I have an L440GX+ Intel MB with dual PIII 450's and a single 9GB SCSI disk running 5.0-RELEASE. I can boot the generic kernel, but when I compile SMP it hangs on the line that identifies the disk for the last time, showing the disks geometry at the end of that line. I believe the background file system checks would run next, were it to boot correctly. I've tried running 4.7-RELEASE with SMP on the same hardware to no avail; it would hang at the line: "waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". I used 4.7 with a single cpu for awhile until 5.0-DP1 was made available. I was able to run SMP with 5.0-DP1, on the same hardware. I ran it 24/7 with sendmail, pop3, bind and other various internet services, no problems, very stable for my use, unless you repeated a keystroke too quickly, it would log you off. I wanted it to be "stable" for shell accounts; so I waited for 5.0-RELEASE thinking it would run as 5.0-DP1 did, no such luck. I've attached a file with uname and dmesg output as well as the kernel config file I use. I used the process of running config kernelfilename, make depend, make, make install without any errors that I know of. On DP1 I think I used the dno_werror parameter or something like that when I ran make depend. I'm hoping someone will have had a similar experience or just flat out knows what's wrong.
