[Bug 576001] Re: kernel 2.6.32-32 makes machine hang during boot

[Charles Auer]

Those are the same symptoms that I experienced. Only difference is that
I wasn't able to connect via SSH (the box is running Samba, BIND9, DHCP3
and SSH, and a few other stuff, virtualbox for one).

Ctrl+Alt+Del to force a reboot was recognized and halted all the
processes and rebooted the machine.

Do those Dell servers run RAID?

The only thing I can think of is that on my server, I've got a 3 disk
RAID-5 array (using a RocketRAID 2640X1 controller: http://www
.highpoint-tech.com/usa/bios_rr2640.htm) that I need to build the
drivers from source after each kernel upgrade - which had an entry in
fstab. The main OS drive was a 320GB WD Caviar Blue, which wasn't set up
for RAID.

What about Virtualbox? I had Virtualbox installed from the karmic repos
over at Virtualbox.org.

Just reaching at straws here.

Also: I ended up doing a clean install of Lucid Server x64 and running
apt-get dist-upgrade to get the new kernel before installing all the
services. The upgrade went fine and I was able to get to a prompt after
rebooting. After installing all the services, and rebooting, the RAID
controller was recognized and everything loaded up without hanging.

I am quite puzzled.
