(In reply to comment #2) > Questions: What capabilities do I lose with the acpi=off or clocksource=jiffies > options? Is one preferable to the other? > You never want to disable ACPI except as a test to see if it makes the kernel boot, so clocksource=jiffies is preferred. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
Created attachment 431659 [details] dmesg logs from kernel options recorded in the grub.conf Description of problem: Installed Fedora 13 on a desktop PC with a Biostar TF520-A2 motherboard. After minutes to hours the computer will freeze or reset. A response to my query on the Fedora Users list pointed me to the Fedora KernelCommonProblems doc. Experimenting with kernel options, I found that if I turned acpi off, the computer ran for as long as I let it. I tried all the kernel options suggested in the document and recorded the results in the following grub.conf. The freezing/crashing occurred with all but two of the options, acpi=off and clocksource=jiffies. title Fedora 13 (original) --crashed-- (2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel

Before I was referred to the CommonKernelProblems doc, I tried installing Fedora 12. I found the same behaviour there. I tried the same kernel options tests in Fedora 12, I found the same results, that all options but acpi=off and clocksource=jiffies led to the computer freezing. This suggests that the problem is not new to Fedora 13. Before that I tried with Gnome, KDE, and init 3. I didn't know to try kernel options with those, but the computer inevitably froze. I installed Fedora 13 from the netinstall CD. How reproducible: Boot up Fedora 13 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up Fedora 13 2. Wait 3. When the computer screen stops updating, test with the cap locks key Actual results: Computer freezes or reboots itself. Expected results: Computer runs without freezing or rebooting itself If there are other tests I could run that would help find a solution, I would be happy to do so. Questions: What capabilities do I lose with the acpi=off or clocksource=jiffies options? Is one preferable to the other? Thanks! Andrew Robinson
