Latest SL4.3 UP kernel doesn't boot on DL360's

Hi,

I've recently rebuilt some of my DL360's from earlier releases to SL4.3

With the HP Proliant DL360's (generation 1) single CPU units, they refuse to
boot the latest 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL kernel, but boot fine from the earlier
2.6.9-34.EL kernel.

There's no kernel panic from the boot screen, just hangs on boot and the
machine has to be power cycled.

On exactly the same model servers but with an extra CPU, booting off the
latest SMP kernel boots fine.

Any ideas how I can troubel-shoot this one?

I've yet to disbale the "quiet" boot mode to see exactly where it hangs. I've
also yet to try to boot an SMP kernel on a UP server to see if it would
actually work.

Thanks.

Michael.
