I have an Abit BP6 Motherboard with dual Celerons. I have been running
Red Hat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.13 (with SMP) for some time with little
difficulty. Abit recently released a BIOS update to fix some things. I
flashed my board with the latest update, only to find that my SMP kernels
no longer will boot. Uniprocessor kernels will boot fine, but SMP will
not work. The SMP kernel will boot until right after detecting the IDE
hard disks and cd-rom, and then the machine will reboot instantly. Does
anyone know why this would happen with a BIOS update? Perhaps a broken
BIOS? Perhaps a snafu in the kernel that is being tickled by a difference
in BIOSes ?
thanks,
-Randy
