My main home computer was running 4.9 RC1 till 2 days ago, when i decided to upgrade it to last STABLE. After kernel build/install, the reboot hanged (everything freezed, need to reset) just after detecting my IDE cd drive - usually the next step was the detection of my LSI logic (former AMI) megaraid logical disk. I then cvsuped against RELENG_4_9, rebuilt all, and boot when fine. Today morning, full of hope, i cvsuped to RELENG_4 and tried again. The boot still hang, but this time it is after the RAID logical drive detection, just before the actual system boot start "Mouting root from...". Here's a short description of my system. Any completion requests welcomed. Hardware : Tyan tiger MP Motherboard with 2 Athlons XP 2000+ Only IDE device is the cd drive. LSI Megaraid 5000 Express controller with 4 SCSI drives all attached into an unique RAID 5 array. Mouse attached to USB. Software non-standardismes : Having a GEForce, am loading linux.ko and nvidia.ko at boot time. Only difference between GENERIC and my kernel conf are : enabled SMP, added support for my PCI SoundBlaster (pcm). I'm willing to help as much as i can locating and fixing the problem, but i don't really know where to start, so any pointers to which more information i should submit or what steps i should take will be appreciated. Thanks for your attention. -- Guy P.
