At the risk of asking a real noobie question, how can I troubleshoot
the following?
I just upgraded a machine from 6.0 to 6.1. When booting with the new
kernel, 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.i686, it starts to boot and then the
machine (a Dell GX280) just resets. Things are moving fast on the
screen and I can't really tell precisely where the reset is occuring,
but looking at a log from a successful boot (with the old kernel), it
looks like the failure is occurring somewhere around the spot marked
below:
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xfe00 ctl 0xfe10 bmdma 0xfea0 irq 20
ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xfe20 ctl 0xfe30 bmdma 0xfea8 irq 20

>>===== Failure occurs somewhere around here =====<<
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda1
dracut: Loading SELinux policy
If I boot with the previous kernel (2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.i686) the
machine boots fine. If I boot from the 6.1 boot CD, the same reset
happens; the last line I can make out on the screen is something like
"waiting"..."hardware"....
Ideas?
