Comment 1 Alex Zozula 2004-04-10 14:54:45 UTC
Interesting....when I changed the AGP aperture size from 128M to 64M, 
it booted without a problem.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2004-04-13 16:00:47 UTC
That is very odd. I'll bug folks at SiS and hopefully get some docs
out of them.


Comment 3 Bob DeRosa 2004-04-28 15:05:02 UTC
I'm also seeing this problem on a Toshiba Magnia Z310R server with 
Core 2 test 3.  It has a P3 1.266, with 1GB Ram.  The bios does not 
seem to have a place to change the AGP aperture size.

agpgart: VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset
agpgart: Maximum Main memory to use for agp memory: 942M

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2004-12-08 06:01:57 UTC
as of fc3 you can boot with agp=off, but I'm going to leave this bug open until
I find out more info about the cause of this hang.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-01-25 06:24:40 UTC
out of curiousity, does the hang with 64M still happen with the latest kernels ?
there were some fixes to sis-agp, which should be unrelated, but its a long-shot..

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 20:21:18 UTC
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2005-10-03 00:59:38 UTC
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update.
It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005.
If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug.

There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only
way to purge them.

Thank you.
