Andrew,
2.5.69-mm4 is failing to boot. It completes init_rootfs() in
mnt_init() but does not complete init_mount_tree(). Call me dumb, but nothing obvious jumps out at me, I don't see any diff(1) from -mm3, and I don't really have time to actively debug it. I can indeed build and try kernels.
This is the WimMark box. Compaq ML570. 4x700MHz Xeon, 2GB RAM.
Still boots all the other kernels fine.

I have the same exact problem. It hange in exactly the same place. My machine is a dual Pentium Pro w/ 128M RAM, and not much else.

I didn't get a chance to chase this, but 2.5.69-mm5 boots just fine, so whatever caused it has been fixed for me.

Same here. -mm5 boots. I wonder, Dave, what compiler/etc you
were using. I was using RH9.

I build on Debian unstable, which currently has gcc 3.2.

Could be a device driver or IO scheduler problem. You may find that it's stuck waiting for a disk read to complete.

Try using a different IO scheduler?

Does sysrq-T work?

What device driver does an ML570 use?

Please share your .config.

I'll try that on the next boot, this one has more printk()s.

Try using a different IO scheduler?

Ok, elevator=deadline doesn't fix it, nor does removing the
serial console from the command line.

Andrew,
2.5.69-mm4 is failing to boot. It completes init_rootfs() in
mnt_init() but does not complete init_mount_tree(). Call me dumb, but

Ok, looks like it is waiting at read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in
init_mount_tree(). I wonder what has the lock. Off to check.
