2004.1 SMP kernel reboots after some time and hangs at dhcp

Hi folks,

I just tried to boot from the 2004.1 LiveCD using a SMP kernel, and I've run into several problems. When I try to boot to boot with option 'smp' the boot process hangs at DHCP IP braodcasting for about 30 seconds, then it reboots. When I use 'smp nodhcp' it boots normally, but also reboots after about 30 seconds AFAIK without any error messages. When I use 'smp nodhcp noapic' I get the same results, a sudden reboot after about half a minute.

Booting without SMP enabled works fine, but since my processor is capable of Hyperthreading, I'd like to use it. I've read about problems concerning NICs, is it possible that my problems are related to this somehow?

This is my system:

Pentium4 3 GHz
MSI Neo2 FIS2R (Intel 865PE)
2x512 DDR400 RAM
HDD: WD1200JB + Samsung SV6004H
NIC: Onboard Intel Gigabit LAN Chip

Thanks in advance!

Nile,

You will only be using the liveCD kernel until you build your own. Its not much of a loss not using hyperthreading for the install.
