This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping <@kylem> looks like before the has_gen thing on HIGHMEM64G got committed <@kylem> should be able to close->currentrelease. I believe my kernel maintainers. |
Created attachment 323448 [details] Xorg log failed session Description of problem: When using a Fedora PAE kernel, I can only boot to text mode. If X is started, the system fatals (machine crashes, reboot!) in 5 out of 6 times. The 6th time, no fatal, but black screen and machine is hung. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Started testing this with Fedora 10 snapshot 3, but also with all updates up until now (preview and later). No change in problem. kernel-PAE-2.6.27.5-94.fc10.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.2-12.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-3.fc10.i386 lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with most recent (or any other) i686 PAE kernel 2. X starts (but no mouse or anything seen yet) 3. Fatal Actual results: System crashes, reboot. Expected results: Should be same as non-PAE kernel: healthy system. Additional info: I figured out what's happening from the Xorg.0.log (attached) of the hung version (when the system fatals, no log gets written). See here: --------------------------------------- (II) intel(0): Kernel reported 1264128 total, 1 used (II) intel(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 5056508 kB available --------------------------------------- I only have 4 GB installed in the system! Some sort of memory corruption? So I tried the whole thing with the non-PAE kernel - and voila - everything works 100%. Except that I only have 3GB mem available now.
