From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Epiphany/1.0.8 Description of problem: I 've installed FC2T2 on an Asus A7v600. Install goes OK (allthough i need to unplug all USB devices since loading the USB storage driver hangs if i don't). The first few times that i boot the system, it starts fine. But after that, it allways stalls just after entering runlevel 5, probing for new hardware, updating fstab. In most cases, i get a kernel bug output as copied to the additional information, but sometimes i don't. The error doesn't show in /var/log/dmesg. I made a picture of the screen, and retyped it myself (the last digits of the stack are missing, but those are not visible on my screen - need a smaller font, i guess): kernel BUG at dfs/proc/generic.c:664! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<021a4a5f>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010206 (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1) EIP is at remove_proc_entry+0xa5/0xf6 eax: 00000001 ebx: 3d468494 ecx: 00000000 edx: 41fe0a50 esiL 41de0a80 edi: 3d46844c ebp: 00000007 esp: 404daf54 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process modprobe (pid: 1448, threadinfo=404da000 task=40a28080) Stack: 41fe0a50 3d468494 42ba6380 00000000 0230fe60 404da000 0213d9b9 00000 38396b73 006e696c 00000246 00000000 41fa99a8 402d3678 f7001000 02159 41fa99a8 f7002000 021596c2 4044f65c 41fa99a8 41fa99d0 00000000 404da Call Trace: [<0213d9b9>] sys_delete_module+0xde/0x11e [<021591b1>] unmap_vma_list+0xe/0x17 [<021591c2>] do_munmap+0x1dc/0x1e6 Code: 0f 0b 98 02 41 15 2e 02 8b 47 40 85 c0 75 09 89 f8 e8 0d ff I installed twice, and for both installs, the problem occurs.

I just finished installing FC2t2 and i see the same bug. (It consistently fails to boot for me however) One question for Eelco: Did you perhaps make a typing error? I get: kernel BUG at fs/proc/generic.c:664! instead of kernel BUG at dfs/proc/generic.c:664! and I get: sys_delete_module+0xfe/0x11e instead of sys_delete_module+0xde/0x11e Better change to a more discriptive summary title such as: Kernel hangs a boot time: BUG at /fs/proc/generic.c Tino Meinen
No, it is fs, not dfs. But nevertheless i can't rule out typo's, so i've put up a picture of my screen at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ehoekema/img/120420.jpg Changed title as proposed. Thanks.
I get this same problem, also with an Asus A7V600, but I get it every boot, not just after the first few. Also, I didn't have to unplug any USB devices to get it to install. That worked with no problem. I tried booting into rescue mode, and played around with /etc/init.d/kudzu. It seems to be freezing on the "action updfstab" line, and so I put in a line before that which would run updfstab -t to just print out the fstab it was trying to create, thinking that maybe it was hanging on the writing step, but it stoped on the test as well. I tried the test with and without the --skipprobe option and got the same results. So if the problem isn't probing hardware, reading configs, or writing to the /etc/fstab file, then I have no idea what it is, since that's pretty much all updfstab does, as far as I know. I also tried installing with SELinux set to enabled, set as warnings, and booting with selinux=0, and that had no effect. I'm going to try spinning a FC2T2 disk with the kudzu from test1 (kudzu-1.1.41-1) and see if that does anything. I'll probably also try an FC2T2 disk with the kernel-2.6.1-1.65.
One workaround seems to be pressing th 'I' for interactive startup, and then press Y for everything but searching new hardware (Kudzu). That way i managed to boot my machine, and i installed a newer kernel from development (2.6.5-1.309). With that kernel, it will boot. (But unfortunately, it won't start the 3Com network adapter that is on your board.)
I started up in rescue mode and downgraded to kudzu-1.1.41-1 from test 1, and the restarted and everything booted normally, including the 3Com network adapter. Given Eelco's success in booting with a different kernel seems to suggest that the problem isn't necessarily with either the kernel or kudzu, but with the interaction between them. I'll give kudzu-1.1.54-1 a try to see if things have improved since test 2.
I disabled the onboard LAN in the BIOS. After that, out-of-the-box FC2T2 booted fine. To sum it all up, it will boot when you: - downgrade kudzu - skip kudzu - upgrade kernel - disable onboard LAN
ok that's the sk98lin driver which has a bug ;(
With kernel-2.6.5-1.322 installed on ASUS SK8V and Opteron 140, problems with kudzu and sk98lin appear fixed.
I can confirm Gene's observation about kernel-2.6.5-1.322. On my Asus A7V600 the problems with sk98lin seem to be fixed as well.
