From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: During bootup, immediately after the message "Enabling swap" appears, the system will power off. If I change /etc/grub.conf to boot with ACPI=off, the system starts up just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.1-1.65 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the system 2. 3. Actual Results: The laptop powers off right after (or during) the time swap is enabled. Expected Results: It should have continued booting up :) Additional info: This laptop was running Fedora core 1, and I upgraded it to FC2-test1 by making a yum repository on another machine and running "yum upgrade".
I just completed a fresh install (reformatted everything to make sure there weren't problems related to the upgrade) and the problem persisted. Disabling ACPI still allows it to boot properly.
I can reproduce on a Dell Latitude CPx laptop (model PPX, Latitude C family). I've also just completed a fresh install of Fedora Core 2 test1. When booting with acpi=off evrything works just fine. When booting with acpi=on (the default) the laptop powers off early during the boot process. Before it powers off I see the following message on the console: Critical temperature reached (-296 C), shutting down.
I should have mentioned that I'm seeing this on a Dell Inspiron 4000, model PP01L. I didn't see the "Critical temperature reached" message, but that may be because it shut off too quickly.
Now running kernel-2.6.3-116 and the problem has been resolved! Thanks!
