I'm trying to instaal 5.12 on a Gigabyte GA-8IDML mailboard, on a Maxtor 541DX harddisk.
Installation goes ok, after the first reboot I get the following errors:
irq probe failed
hda lost interrupt.

Rob,
Do you get two choices when you boot up? like "e-smith" and "e-smith up"

Yes I do. And when I use "e-smith up" I can boot correctly

Rob,
I was having the same problem on another machine. The "E-Smith Up" means your motherboard has two processors and it is only going to use the first processor since it cannot utilize both. I think this also happens when you only have one processor and it does not recognize the motherboard or something. At any rate, you can boot to "e-smith up" and everything will work fine. If you want to boot without chossing each time follow the steps in this posting

and it will default to "E-Smith Up". I have done this on another machine so if you have trouble let me know. Hope this helps.

Problem solved: there are no two processors. Changing lilo to start e-smith-up by default did the trick. Can I buy you a beer, sometime?

Thanks for letting me know it worked out!
I just got done doing that about a week or so ago and I have actually only used Linux and this software about a month so I am happy that I could actually contribute back to the community.

Thats a nice trick, but i have several dell poweredge servers with 2 xeon cpus, and i want to use boths cpus
I think, it is a kernel prob, cause i tried it with an actual release of red hat and it works.
Greetings from Michael

I think they said the next version of SME will have the latest Linux kernal. The current version does not have the latest kernal, but I do not know much about that part so I cannot make any suggestions.
Cheers,

I found the advise on how to fix the issue did not work.
When I looked at the lilo templates it wanted to grab the existing lilo.conf to preserver it's settings so I altered the real file - the one which says not to alter it!
and deleted reference to a SMP image.
I ran lilo from the prompt.
The message said added esmith-up*
Now when it boots there is only one option: esmith-up. It's booted about 10 times now and seems to be a permanent fix.

I found that it worked great. Are you sure you signaled the event? When following the fix step by step it does rebuild and boot.

I have the same problem with 2 options to boot on a dell server.
Following the instruction on the above thread running /sbin/lilo as root doesnt fixed the problem.
[root@e-smith root]# /sbin/lilo
Added esmith *
Added esmith-up
Did I miss anything?

i fixed mine now.
You must do this:
- Edit /etc/lilo.conf
- default = e-smith to
default = e-smith up
- save changes n exit.
- type: /sbin/lilo
it then says
[root@e-smith root]# /sbin/lilo
Added esmith
Added esmith-up *
