From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: I installed the new kernel today via up2date. After rebooting into the new kernel everything seems fine. Then i have build a ntfs module with this scripts: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/build.html (i used the 2.6 one with kernel-sourcecode 2.6.7-1.494.2.2.noarch ) After installing and loading it i wanted to reboot. I typed the command reboot. It said System is goinig down for reboot bla bla .... but nothing happend. Then i have rebooted with init 6 (it stoppend while showing Preparing System for Reboot). Than i used the reset switch. after booting i was'nt able to mount my ntfs volume. I looked into /var/log/messages and found some errors (see attachment). I have also installed the nvidia driver and it worked fine. Acpi is on. I have a AMD 2800 (Barton) and an MSI MB with a VIA chip. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see description Actual Results: I am unable to reboot without pressing the reset switch. I can't build a working ntfsmodule. Expected Results: The system should reboot normaly. The kernel should be able to mount an ntfsfs after building and loading the ntfs module Additional info:
Created attachment 102421 [details] The errormessages form /var/log/messages
from that page: " Note: If you are using Fedora 2, then these instructions won't work for you. I shall try and write some before Fedora 2 is released. " he's right, those instructions are entirely wrong for the FC2 kernel.
also you're using the nvidia module....
After uninstalling the ntfs module the and removing pci=usepirqmask form grub the reboot workes fine
From the site: " Now, download the build script: (either build-2.4 for RedHat and Fedora 1 kernels, or build-2.6 for >>>Fedora 2 kernels<<<) and the RPM spec file."
the script is really broken though.... and indeed will not result in working modules (only sometimes by pure luck maybe)
Ok than i have to wait until the there is a precompiled rpm.
