From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Every time I boot from the disc it fails with a kernel panic fairly early. Standard distro downloaded from the ftp site. System info: Tyan S2885 Dual Opteron 242 (1.6 Ghz) 2Ghz DDR333 Diamond Data 52x CDRW ACPI turned off ECC turned on (also tried with off) Redhat 9.0 installs and runs fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert Fedora core1 x86-64 disc1 2. press F8 to bring up boot menu during POST 3. Select CD drive Actual Results: Kernel panic Expected Results: complete boot sequence Additional info:
Seems that kernel panic is in calculate_acpi_pci_delay_cost() (or similar) Setting "ACPI aware OS" to "Enabled" in the BIOS stops the kernel panic. Still a bug but at least there is a workaround.
correct function name is acpi_pci_link_calc_penalties().
Confirmed not present in FC2test3
