Memstat Module and SMP Kernel
Support knowledgebase (grimmer_memstat)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom:
You have compiled a new kernel with SMP support and the system hangs
after the status signal Loading memstat module...
is displayed.
Cause:
The memstat module is a separate module that is not compiled together
with the kernel. Thus, it is still tuned for single CPU systems and
clashes with the SMP kernel.
Solution:
You have two possibilities: either manually compiling the memstat module with SMP support, or
disabling the module's start in the script /sbin/init.d/boot
.
