Beware wrap-around.
We've seen (and fixed) some CPU interaction bug on athlons in this kernel (and we're working with AMD to find what's happening); installing the i686 kernel instead will make that bug go away; could you do that to verify it's the same bug you're seeing ? Last night I ran 'up2date' instead. The problem has gone away with kernel: ----- $ uname -a Linux taroon 2.4.21-1.1931.2.393.ent #1 Wed Aug 13 21:38:34 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux ----- yep that has a workaround as well... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Fresh install of Taroon. Firstboot does not get to graphics display, instead about 16 oopses and 16 "kernel BUG" scroll by on console, and multi-user GUI login screen appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-1.1931.2.349.2.2.ent.athlon.rpm How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install Taroon on Athlon-plain, SIS730, 768MB RAM. 2. Boot and wait until "firstboot" attempts to run. 3. Actual Results: About 16 oopses and 16 "kernel BUG" messages scroll by on console, and firstboot does not get to GUI display (no create non-superuser, no sound check, no date+time setting, etc.) Expected Results: Firstboot graphical dialogs. Additional info: CD-ROMs passed MediaCheck.
