I've tried to compile the stock kernel 2.1.103 and during boot it crashes
as follows:
Starting kswapd v 1.5
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio

I tried to compile it as UP (commenting the 'SMP=1' entry in the
Makefile), but it fails during linkage (it finds several functions
beginning with "smp_" without definition ... I looked at the init/main.c
src code, and surprisingly these calls are inside an #else of a
#ifndef __SMP__ !!! I don't know why this code is being compiled ...).
I can send more details if necessary, but I decided to send this msg just
to ask if those problems are already known and, if positive, whether there
is already a fix (patch) for them. Since 2.1.103 is out for a while, I
thought the solution may be out there ...
Some more info:
- RedHat 5.0 w/ all upgrades described in the RedHat Errata and in the
Documentation/changes;
- Intel Pentium 166, 32MB RAM
Two more questions:
1) Is there a LOG where I can get the kernel msgs (such as this crash) or
I really need to do what I did (which was type the whole msg from the
screen to the e-mail msg ...) ?? I looked in the /var/log directory and
and didn't find anything ...
2) Is there an archive for this mailing list ?? Sometimes (such as now) I
think I might be re-asking a question that was already answered, but
as I don't know where to look for previous msgs (history), I end up
asking anyway ...
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Ivan Passos
