Message-ID: <20010607141357.Z8330@blank.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Okay, a quick perusal of the last two months of the list and the FAQ didn't seem to turn up anything like this, so I'm throwing myself at the mercy of the list. The system: homebuilt Athlon 1ghz, Abit KT7 (Via KT133 chipset), IBM DTLA-307075 75Gb IDE hard drive. With a fresh "workstation" install from the SGI RH7.1+xfs 1.0 installer CD, the system panics semi-reliably on boot when it tries to mount the root fs read-write, just after the USB initialization. By "semi-", I mean that it seems to happen about 8 or 9 times out of ten -- every once in a while, I seem to catch a break, and the system actually comes up all the way. So far, I have no notion of what, other than luck, is causing the successful boots. A representative panic follows. If there's any additional information on the system's configuration I can prodide, just ask.
