Issue is also reproducable with Fedora 17 (final) DVD Additional actions done: - Run installer from Fedora 17 (final) Boot CD - Tried to boot installer with following kernel flags: nouveau.modeset=0 nouveau.noaccel=1 vnc - Swapped hard drives - Used different DDR2 RAM modules - Changed jumper on Superdrive from C/S => Master Unfortunately none of these actions solved the issue Is this still happening with 3.6.9 kernels or the F18 beta disk? Issue is not resolved. When I boot the G5 with the F18 beta DVD, the following is displayed on screen: [ 0.000000] DART table allocated at: c00000007f000000 [ 0.000000] Using PowerMac machine description [ 0.000000] Found initrd at 0xc00000000188000:0xc000000031e8060 [ 0.000000] Found U4 memory controller & host bridge @ 0xF8000000 revision 0x42 [ 0.000000] Mapped at 0xd000080080000000 [ 0.000000] Found a Shasta mac-io controller, rev: 0, mapped at 0xd000080080050000 [ 0.000000] PowerMac motherboard: PowerMac G5 Dual Core [ 0.000000] DART IOMMU initialized for U4 type chipset [ 0.000000] bootconsole [udbg0] enabled [ 0.000000] CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core [ 0.000000] Starting Linux PPC64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 9 11:20:36 MST 2012 [ 0.000000] ----------------------------------------------------- [ 0.000000] ppc64_pft_size = 0x0 [ 0.000000] physicalMemorySize = 0x120000000 [ 0.000000] htab_address = 0xc000000198000000 [ 0.000000] htab_hash_mask = 0xfffff [ 0.000000] ----------------------------------------------------- [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.6.6-3.fc18.ppc64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.7.2 20121001 (Red Hat 4.7.2-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Nov 9 11:20:36 MST 2012 CF000012 Setup Arch [ 0.000000] [boot]0012 Setup Arch [ 0.000000] Segment table for CPU 1 at 0xc00000000ffe7000 virtual, 0xffe7000 absolute Then computer freezes, fans start blowing until I switch it off. I haven't tried booting with kernel 3.6.9 because I do not known how to test it. Is there a way to replace the kernel on the DVD with 3.6.9? If so, appreciate a quick how-to, and I will try. Can you remove the 'rhgb' and 'quiet' parameters and possibly install kernel-debug to see if there is more information available on the screen? I am booting the G5 from the F18 beta PPC64 DVD. The yaboot.conf on the DVD does not contain 'rhgb' and 'quiet' parameters. Pls. let me know if I need to anything else (e.g. edit some other config file in the ISO and burn another DVD). I booted from DVD using the kernel flags 'debug loglevel=7' but the information displayed is exactly the same as without any kernel flags (see previous post). When I boot the G5 with the F18 (final) DVD, the following is displayed on screen: [ 0.000000] DART table allocated at: c00000007f000000 [ 0.000000] Using PowerMac machine description [ 0.000000] Found initrd at 0xc00000000188000:0xc000000031e02e8 [ 0.000000] Found U4 memory controller & host bridge @ 0xF8000000 revision 0x42 [ 0.000000] Mapped at 0xd000080080000000 [ 0.000000] Found a Shasta mac-io controller, rev: 0, mapped at 0xd000080080050000 [ 0.000000] PowerMac motherboard: PowerMac G5 Dual Core [ 0.000000] DART IOMMU initialized for U4 type chipset [ 0.000000] bootconsole [udbg0] enabled [ 0.000000] CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core [ 0.000000] Starting Linux PPC64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 12 16:07:38 MST 2012 [ 0.000000] ----------------------------------------------------- [ 0.000000] ppc64_pft_size = 0x0 [ 0.000000] physicalMemorySize = 0x120000000 [ 0.000000] htab_address = 0xc000000198000000 [ 0.000000] htab_hash_mask = 0xfffff [ 0.000000] ----------------------------------------------------- [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.6.10-4.fc18.ppc64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.7.2 20121109 (Red Hat 4.7.2-8) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Dec 12 16:07:38 MST 2012 CF000012 Setup Arch [ 0.000000] [boot]0012 Setup Arch [ 0.000000] Segment table for CPU 1 at 0xc00000000ffe7000 virtual, 0xffe7000 absolute Then everything freezes and need to press power button to restart the system. I believe there is a fix pending for this issue in the 3.9 kernel. I'm going to close this out as NEXTRELEASE. If you still cannot boot with a 3.9-rc5 kernel, please reopen and move this to the F19 release. |
