dmesg from boot with "noapic" option
A bit more info. This is an MSI motherboard K9NBPM2-FID and it has the most recent BIOS in it. If I disable the IOAPIC via the BIOS setting for it, the system boots normally (and the date function is correct). However, the dmesg file still shows the IO-APIC being enabled by Linux as it comes up. Having the same error message with an AMD64 system after a BIOS upgrade - please see more detailed description in Bug 175784. Re-loaded this same hardware with the i686 version of fc6. I'm also having trouble with the 1440x900 display on this system but I think that issue is unrelated (but I'll mention it just in case). Before loading the i686 version, I re-enabled the IOAPIC in the BIOS because that's what caused the initial failure. The re-load went fairly well but the resulting system is very fragile. I've tried it with the IOAPIC enabled in BIOS and also disabled in BIOS. Neither works well but the system seems slightly more stable when the IOAPIC is disabled. The system has not (yet) had a kernel panic. The message printed out during boot now says: ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area e0000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: not using MMConfig The main symptom is that the system just locks up. The lockup almost always occurs at a point where the display is transitioning in some way (text to graphics, restart of X server, shutdown of X server). When the system locks, the display goes blank and no key sequence or mouse motion will wake it back up. The system rarely locks up when someone is logged in and the system is in use. Unfortunately, once the system locks up, there isn't much I can do to get it to show me what went wrong. I'll try to capture more info if someone can tell me how to do it. (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report! |
