Description Santiago Flores 2003-08-01 16:46:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Machine reboots right after kernel beings loading

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Tarron-AS beta1 and Tarron-WS beta1

How reproducible:
Try booting with the CDs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put CD in tray (make certain computer is set to boot from CDROM/ATAPI device)
2. Go through boot sequence for system
3. Select anyway of installing (text, graphical, no hardware detection, etc.) RH
    
Actual results:
Machine reboots

Expected results:
Install dialog begins

Additional info:
Tyan S2880 with Dual Opteron 244, 6GB DDR, 2 U320 SCSI (install target), SATA
diasbled.

Comment 2 Jim Paradis 2003-08-04 15:05:58 UTC
I am not familiar with this sytem type; does it have an onboard serial port?  If
so, would it be possible for you to capture a serial dump of the bootup and
attach it to this bug?  You can mirror the kernel messages to the serial port by
booting with the options "linux text console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0".  Make
sure that the capturing program is setup for 38400N81.

Comment 5 Santiago Flores 2003-08-05 18:22:11 UTC
It appears to BOOT if APIC is turned off completly in the BIOS.  However, having
APIC working is desirable. It was set to NOT use APIC 2.0. The following is the
output of the BOOT with NO APIC:

Comment 6 Jim Paradis 2003-08-06 21:28:02 UTC
This looks like an ACPI problem to me.  In your first two examples you get some
weird stuff printed out after the "ACPI Namespace successfully loaded" message,
then a reboot.  This suggests to me that the AML interpreter (which runs at this
point) is somehow going off into the weeds and causing a reboot.  Note that when
you boot with noapic, it doesn't *find* the system description tables and thus
doesn't even *try* to run the AML interpreter.

We need to find out why the AML interpreter is breaking.


Comment 7 Santiago Flores 2003-08-06 23:28:45 UTC
I may need some help getting the information that you need. For starters though,
the BIOS has a couple of options regarding APIC. First enable or disable APIC
v2.0. Second enable or disable APIC. Third enable or disable valuie that "allows
the ACPI BIOS to add a pointer to an OEMB table in the Root System Description
table (RSDT). NOTE: OEMB table is used to pass POST data to the AML code during
the ACPI O/S operations."

What next?


Comment 8 Jim Paradis 2003-08-06 23:38:02 UTC
Hang tight.  I'm working on a theory that the problem might actually have to do
with stack pressure in the AML interpreter itself.  I came to this theory when
chasing down Bug 101710, but it might have something to do with your situation
as well.
