Description

You can capture the stack trace by taking a picture of the screen with a digital camera and attaching that to this bugzilla entry. Also, please try booting with the kernel option "iommu=soft". I have the same problem. I tried the kernel option "iommu=soft" and no luck. There is a fix for IOMMU-caused kernel panics in kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.3.fc6 in testing, available at: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/6/ I don't know if it fixes the problem, but it might. I have just tried the testing kernel kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.3.fc6 and no luck. As far as I read in some forums this could be a kernel problem or a kernel+BIOS problem.

Shot of boot failure
This happened with this kernel: kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.3.fc6, with the
iommu=soft option specified.
Let me know if you need more information or if you want me to try anything
else.
The interesting part of the oops has scrolled off the screen. Try booting with kernel option "vga=1" to get 50-line mode. And turn off the camera's flash so we can see the center of the screen. Created attachment 148834 [details]

second page of stack trace
I have 3 attachments, the ones labeled "first shot" are the initial boot screen
of where is froze.
The one labeled "second page" happened in a previous boot (where I did not have
my camera ready). In this boot, a page similar to the "first shot" above
appeared, and then maybe 30 seconds later this additional stack trace appeared.
Both boots were identical everything, and with the kernel, options and h/w
described by me the most recent comments.
Just updated to the 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6 kernel and the problem persists. Let me know if you would like me to capture the stack trace from the boot with the new kernel. *** Bug 230985 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Should I file this as a bug report for kernel.org, since it seems like several people are hitting this problem? Having the same problem with all versions of the FC6 kernel: regular, PAE and 64-bit. I was able to boot Ubuntu 6.10 without any problems. I have not determined what the differences are that make one work and the other fail. Updated to kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6 and the problem persists. Sorry for my last comment! I have updated to kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 and the problem persists XEN version of kernel does not have this bug ? $ dmesg | head -4 Linux version 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6xen (brewbuilder.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51 )) #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 16:23:59 EST 2007 Command line: ro root=LABEL=ROOT video=ywrap vga=0x315 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000f2f86000 (usable) $ head -1 /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 3971352 kB The XEN kernel as in comment 16 works fine for me as well. Upgraded to kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 and kernel-PAE-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6. With the memory remapping enabled: kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 boots but only sees 2 of the 4 gig with a message to use the PAE kernel to access the full 4 gigs. It used to kernel panic before. kernel-PAE-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 still kernel panics on boot up. Have not tried the 64-bit kernel. 64-bit kernels - kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 hangs with same diagnostics different memmap= options does not solve problem XEN vesion of kernel boots perfectly Could someone upload screen pictures of failure with kernel 2944? I looked at upgrading to 4gb on my P5B-Deluxe board. I found this bug and reconsidered. But this morning I found a forum post about Ubuntu and this same issue. Someone had found blacklisting the Intel AGP driver fixed the issue. From what it said it sounded like Ubuntu has the AGP drivers as modules, and hence they can be prevented from loading. Where as it seems Fedora compiles them in. I purchased the additional 2gb of ram and installed. Then I tried disabling the AGP drivers in the configuration of a 2.6.20-1.2944 x86_64 kernel and recompiled. The resulting rpm had a config with AGP enabled, but the Intel AGP driver as a module. I then moved the module file out of the /lib/modules directory and booted the kernel. It did successfully boot. I then had an issue with the kernel missing the dist tag and recompiled again with it. This time I forget to move the Intel AGP driver module out of /lib/modules and that resulted a system reboot around the starting of udev. My next goal is to recompile with all the AGP drivers as modules, and then blacklist the Intel AGP driver. I will then reenable the remap option in the bios, make sure it boots, and then check that everything else works. As a side note, linux did seem to see all the memory, but I didn't have alot of time to look it over. Casn you boot stock kernel 2944 and repost the screen pictures? I don't have debug info for the older kernels installed. Yes, I can try later. Hopefully it doesn't just reboot like it seems to do with the driver as a module. I have included the kernel option agp=off and I have successfully boot with my 4GB RAM. Ah, very nice a straight forward. What video card and driver to do you use? I am curious if there are any side effects to disabling AGP. I am using a NVidia 7600GT PCIe 256Mb and livna nvidia driver (nvidia-1.0.9755-4). 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) I have just tested the agp=off kernel option. Until now I haven't found any side effects with my video card. Actually I am using Gnome and Beryl and no problems. If I have any problem using this options I will post here. Additional info: I am using kernel kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6.x86-64 (fc6) [root@phantom ~]# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 4017504 kB That is great news. I have the exact same card, and I am using the same exact driver. Your memory total seems to match what I saw while I had it working earlier. Here is the url of someone who talks about some of the details of the bug: http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/~riedesg/sysadmin1138/2006/12/opensuse-102-on-asus-p5b-deluxe.html I flashed by my bios and bricked my motherboard. Ended up getting a P5B Premium this time. It is basically the same board, but has it's own version of the bios. It seems to have the same issue and the same fix works. I am only getting 4017404kb. Which is interestingly 100kb less than Hugo. It is roughly 3.8gb. Which is 174mb, which is mentioned during boot as reserved.

Just an FYI but adding agp=off fixes this for my Asus P5B-E and Asus P5B Deluxe Works for me too with 'agp=off' and P5B Deluxe. (4GB with kernel-PAE-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.) Should be fixed in kernel 1.2952 Does not appear to be fixed in kernel-PAE-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6. Still requires 'agp=off' to boot. Enterprise kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 have same bug (and same solving) But new kernel 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 works without agp=off !!! That's just fine! That's what we want!
