I've got a RHEL4-AS system, installs fine, runs the 2.6.9-5.ELsmp i386
kernel. Hardware is dual athlon, tyan thunder K7 mobo, PCI adapters are
a lsi logic 20320-r scsi controller and an intel pro1000 server NIC.
Everything works until...

As soon as I run up2date, get the new kernel, 2.6.9-5.0.3-ELsmp, reboot,
the system cannot boot to that new kernel. Symptoms are black screen, no
error messages, hung, keyboard dead. Only fix it to do a hardware reset
or shutdown. I boot back into the old kernel, and there is nada in
messages. No errors whatsoever. The last entry is something about
mounting cdrom, which is normal, and the last entry before X should
start. So I'm guess something wrong with X.

Anyone seen this problem? Seems bad to have an enterprise product have
this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
