Subject: Bug in SLES8 kernel 2.4.x freezing HP DL740/760
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 21:20:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4213AB2B.2050604@giesskaennchen.de> (raw)

Hi out there,

If there is anybody out there using SLES8 on HP ProLiant DL740/760:
BEWARE!

SuSE has patched UNICON into the kernel which will cause these servers 
to hang when booted with vga=normal. The system will run fine in 
fb-mode, but not in plain text.

I cannot see, where this UNICON-patch comes from, it seems that is has 
been developed by some turbolinux-coders.

HP and SuSE have not been able to either fix this problem or at least 
warn someone about this bug, so I will do it now.
The bug is known since Nov 13th 2004.

If there should be anybody who can help, please contact me.

I hope this information will help someone to not run into deep trouble.

Oliver Antwerpen
