Stalling init! Sarge on ProLiant-Servers - Critical?

["Martin Schneider" <Schneider.Martin@talkline.de>]

Hi,

I've installed Debian "Sarge" on 

- Compaq/HP ProLiant DL380 G3; 512 MB RAM; Compaq Smart Array 5i 
- Compaq/HP ProLiant DL580 G2; 2 GB RAM; Compaq Smart Array 5i+

Init stalls during switching of the runlevel:

# init {0,1,6}
INIT: Switching to runlevel: {0,1,6}
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
INIT: Sending processes the KILL signal
Stopping periodic command scheduler: cron.
Stopping MTA: exim4.
Stopping internet superserver: inetd.
Stopping deferred execution scheduler: atd.
Stopping kernel log daemon: klogd.
Stopping system log daemon: syslogd.
Sending all processes the TERM signal...

And that's it! To revive the server one has to press the power button.

This happend for the following versions:
"Sarge" Official Snapshot rc1 (CD) - 07.08.2004
"Sarge" Official Snapshot rc1 (DVD) - 09.08.2004
"Sarge" Official NetInst Snapshot - 15.08.2004
"Sarge" Official NetInst Snapshot - 19.08.2004

This version is fine (Switching of the runlevel succeeds):
"Sarge" Prerelease LinuxTag 2004 Edition (DVD) - 09.06.2004 - ISBN 3-936427-09-7
(But GRUB won't install. I have to use Lilo.)

Can someone confirm this? How do I file this bug? I'm unsure if I've collected all of the necessary information.

Kind regards,

Martin Schneider
