Hi there!
I have this problem quite long already, I first noticed it when switched from 2.4.18 to 2.4.19 and it is still here with 2.4.22 (have not tried 2.4.23 yet). The system "hangs" during the early stages of initscripts execution. In my case these are RedHat initscripts (several versions tried) but other people reported similar problems with Mandrake (look for the words like "hang finding module dependencies" or "hang mounting local filesystems"). There was a similar post to the LKML (Brad Tilley, Jun 23 2003, "OS Fails to Load"). Unfortunately the problem is not 100% reproduceable in the sense the system "hangs" some 10%-50% (your mileage may vary) of times. On the other side the problem was seen here at three separate computers with quite different hardware (well, all CPUs are i386, but they are Celeron 533, Athlon XP 2200+ and XP 1700+).
I have collected all possible stack traces, PCs, memory info etc. The bunch is available from http://kapitza.ras.ru/~leva/ops.tar.bz2
[leva@ari ops]$ tar -tjf ops.tar.bz2 addresses.txt oooooops.txt ops-improved.txt readme .config
If you ask, yes, it does include ksymoops (ops-improved.txt) and addr2line (addresses.txt) outputs. And the kernel is just a 2.4.22 with a patch from http://w.ods.org/tools/kmsgdump/0.4.4/patch-2.4.23p6-kmsgdump-0.4.4.gz just to store the dump after the hang.
I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what the problem is and, if this is my own misconfiguration, how I should avoid it. Otherwise, if this is a bug, some fix would be available, probably... I will be glad to supply any additional information if needed.
