From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: If I turn on acpi on grub, the system boots, the login screen appears and when I try to login the machine freezes up. If I turn acpi=off on grub the computer works like a charm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. turn on acpi on grub 2. reboot 3. login screen appears 4. write my username + ENTER 5. write my password + ENTER Actual Results: System freezes up Expected Results: Gnome initializing screen should be visible and running. Additional info:
With this kernel arguments the system don't freezes up: rhgb acpi=on pci=noacpi The magic is mix acpid=on with pci=noacpi
can you attach the dmesg and /proc/interrupts from the success and failure cases? note that booting single users should be sufficient to get this info. Also, any change with updated kernel? thanks, -Len
does this still happen with rhgb disabled?
try boot with nolapic, if it work like a charme is a duplicated bug denoted by apic victims, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269
