Try some of these options instead of maxcpus=1: pci=noacpi pci=nomsi nolapic_timer nolapic pci=nomsi,nommconf Thanks for the quick response...I tried all of the suggested options. Only "pci=noacpi" seems to work without any noticeable side effects. With both "pci=nomsi and "pci=nomsi,nommconf" got stuck at the login prompt (tty ). But I was not able to login. The cursor blinked but no input was being accepted. With "nolapic_timer" and "nolapic" options, I was able boot fine both times. But I saw some strange keyboard/mouse behavior with the former option and with "nolapic" /proc/cpuinfo showed only one cpu (even though I did not specify maxcpus=1). Hello, I'm reviewing this bug 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 and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Yes, I still have the problem with the latest F7 kernel. But I'm using "pci=noacpi" instead of maxcpus=1. Let me know what info you need to resolve this problem. If you could test with the Fedora 8 Test 2 live cd that would be appreciated as at the moment we are trying to squash bugs that prevent a successful install. You can get it from: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7.91/ It may also tell whether this has been fixed upstream. If the issue still exists with F8 Test 2, I will attach a blocker bug and assign to the relevant maintainer. I tested Fedora 8 Test 2 and the problem still exists. I cannot boot without pci=noacpi kernel argument (see attachment (F8T2-BootRegular.jpg). There were no error messages though (I left the machine for 30 min). I could boot into runlevel 3 when I added the kernel argument but I could not start X. For some reason the display was garbled (see attachment F8T2-Boot"pci=noacpi".jpg) and it hanged. I tried both radeon and ati drivers. This at least confirms that the current problem is not fixed in the newer kernel. Created attachment 209201 [details]

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Was this resolved for F8 release? (In reply to comment #16) > Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Was this resolved for F8 release? No. I still have problem booting without pci=noacpi with latest F8 kernel update (2.6.23.9-85.fc8). Can you post the output (as a text/plain attachment) of: # dmidecode (you may need to install it) Created attachment 291342 [details]

Output of dmidecode as requested...
You might want to try a BIOS upgrade which is available (with the usual caveats) at: http://tinyurl.com/3cxz2v or directly: http://downloads.emachines.com/drivers/bios/BIOS_GC11020M.exe If you dual boot then you can perform this under Windows, if not: http://tinyurl.com/yw3bb2 Let me know how you get on. Any update on this? (In reply to comment #21) > Any update on this? I did try the BIOS update as you suggested but there was no change. I still have the issue in 2.6.23.15-137.fc8. This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This issue is still present in Fedora 9. I tried Live KDE CD and could boot only with "pci=noacpi" as a kernel argument. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
