Description Soumyendu Raha 2004-09-14 06:20:18 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.521

How reproducible:
always.
platform: IBM ThinkCentre M50 with acpi and apm.
kernel is started with apm=off acpi=on.
Machine hangs after some time even if kept
idle. system clock seems to stop.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.521 on IBM ThinkCentre M50 desktop PC with
   Intel Pentium 4 with hyperthreading:
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 2
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
stepping        : 9
cpu MHz         : 2993.605
cache size      : 512 KB
physical id     : 0
siblings        : 2
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflu
sh dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid
bogomips        : 5914.62
Start KDE or gnome or XFCE desktop.

2. Machine hangs after 5 to 8 hours, even if kept idle with or 
without screensaver.

3. Needs a hard reboot (disconnect power, switch on).
  
Actual results:
Hung machine.

Expected results:
Hung machine. Hard reboot needed.

kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp works fine

Comment 2 Michael Lincoln 2004-09-20 10:27:23 UTC

Same for me. Hangs totaly, unable to unblank sreen, nothing in logs.
Same kernel, with a hyperthreaded Xeon in a Dell PowerEdge 1750.

Booted with standard options:
auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.521smp
root=LABEL=/

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2004-11-27 20:26:11 UTC

mass update for old bugs:

Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 05:58:48 UTC

Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
