Problem persists using kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1284_FC4 from http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4 Hangs at Switching to new root. Same happens to me. Machine is a Dell Dimension 5000. 1Gb RAM, 3.00GHz P4 with HT and SATA disk. spiceisland root # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2992.768 cache size : 1024 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 : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr bogomips : 5931.00 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2992.768 cache size : 1024 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 : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr bogomips : 5980.16 spiceisland root # lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Processor to I/O Controller (rev 04) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL PCI Express Root Port (rev 04) 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04) 0000:00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82915G Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04) 0000:00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 0000:00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev d3) 0000:00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FR (ICH6/ICH6R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 03) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) IDE Controller (rev 03) 0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FW (ICH6/ICH6W) SATA Controller (rev 03) 0000:00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 0000:04:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01) Seems it may be HT related. It works fine a dual (non HT) P4 for me. Something changed at kernel 1275 for sure to make it stop working. g/ Created attachment 114143 [details]
Photo of screen with oops
kernel-smp 1287 hangs as well. Hangs at same place. This time I got the OOPS info from Alt-SysRq-P (i attached a photo of the oops as well but hand transcribed some here) Pid: 1, comm: init EIP: 0060:[c03088f5>] CPU: 0 EPI is at _spin_unlow_irqrestore+0x1b/0x30 EFLAGS 00000296 Not tainted ... .. ... force_sig_info+0x5b/0xa7 ... do_page_fault+0x359/0x6a7 ... schedule+0x405/0xc5e ... schedule+0x431/0xc5e ... scheduler_tick+0x23b/0x414 ... do_page_fault+0x0/0x6a7 ... error_code+0x4f/0x54 Let me know if theres any more I can do kernel-smp-1290 Same thing. g/ kernel-smp-1303 same problem. g/ I turned off HT in the BIOS - this had no effect at all - same problem. g/ 1268 was fine 1275 (and newer) is broken The only changes between there are.. revision 1.1274 date: 2005/04/27 17:58:26; author: davej; state: Exp; lines: +8 -2 Hopefully fix the random reboots some folks saw on x86-64 ---------------------------- revision 1.1273 date: 2005/04/27 17:03:41; author: katzj; state: Exp; lines: +12 -5 * Wed Apr 27 2005 Jeremy Katz <katzj> - fix prereqs for -devel packages ---------------------------- revision 1.1272 date: 2005/04/27 16:58:47; author: riel; state: Exp; lines: +6 -2 - Fix up the vdso stuff so kernel-xen* compile again - Import upstream bugfix so xenU domains can be started again ---------------------------- revision 1.1271 date: 2005/04/27 01:38:11; author: davej; state: Exp; lines: +32 -2 xen vdso magick ---------------------------- revision 1.1270 date: 2005/04/27 00:31:49; author: davej; state: Exp; lines: +6 -2 apply vdso patch ---------------------------- revision 1.1269 date: 2005/04/27 00:28:45; author: davej; state: Exp; lines: +3 -2 fix up the vdso again. We can rule out the x86-64 changes as this is seen on i386, leaving only the vdso bits. Roland, any ideas ? 1275 works fine for me. 1312 dies, but unchanged with vdso=0. Apparently the execve of /sbin/init done by nash in the initrd /init is failing. One only one iteration did nash get its error message out on my serial console before the panic, and that time said 14 (EFAULT). Has anything in exec/binfmt_elf changed recently? Can you try installing mkinitrd 4.2.15, rebuilding the initrd for one of the broken kernels, and then rebooting? I think this looks like something we saw with mkinitrd, and it should be fixed. There are mkinitrd packages at http://people.redhat.com/pjones/mkinitrd/ which should hit rawhide tomorrow morning; I'll probably take them down later in the week. installed mkinitrd 4.2.15 and rebuilt 1303 smp initrd - no difference unfortunately. At some point (maybe 1280 I forget) the messages on screen changed to something like Switching to new root umounting old /proc unmountiung old /sys (or similar). i.e. 2 additional lines. Thereafter it is hung - alt-sysrq-p shows similar to previous - in the UP boot the next message is an selinux one - selinux is disabled. Sorry it did not help. Let me know if there's any mroe I can do to help. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158413 *** |
