Comments/Problems:
I have a brand new HP ML330 G3. Two 70 Gig scsi disks. I configured
the / partition on ext3 on the first disk 10 gig. I created a RAID 1
setup on two 60 gig partitions. 250 meg swap on the first disk.
When I rebooted the compure hung. The last interesting message is that
the serverworks module can't be loaded because of seg fault. line
pci.agent line 156. I was able to setup beta 4 on this computer. Also, I
installed with the 2.6 kernel. I don't remember seeing a server works
module being installed in rc4.
The call stack is
kobject_register
bus_add_driver
driver_register
pci_register_driver
ide_pci_register_driver
svwks_ide_init
sys_init_module
syscall_call
It seems to be a 2.6 issue. A reinstall with 2.4 works with with the rc1
installer as well.
