From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: When using the stock FC4 cd on an STL2 motherboard (more machine details below) hangs (really really hard) after the report that isapnp finds no plug and play cards. When I use the boot.iso in the development tree it hangs for a moment or two and then panics (trace below). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CD 2. Boot 3. Wait for crash Actual Results: Hang (fc4 stock) or kernel panic (6/14 development boot.iso) Expected Results: Should have booted to anaconda Additional info: I'll call this normal priority despite the crash since it's likely very specific to this motherboard (reminiscent of the L440GX problems :-) ); install worked great on a sony laptop. Machine specifics: Intel STL-2 motherboard, 2x1Ghz PIII, 4G RAM, PCI nvidia video, PCI dual channel symbios, PCI dual gig-e, and PCI initio-9100, onboard video disabled, tried with onboard usb both enabled and disabled [since normal kernel log shows usb after isapnp]. Currently running a personally compiled EL3 (from SRPMS) with custom kernel 2.6.8.1. Here's the trace data from the development boot.iso: [<c01002a0>] init+0x0/0xf0 [<c01002bd>] init+0x1d/0xf0 [<c01012b1>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 [<c014d747>] softlockup_tick+0x87/0x160 [<c0108a93>] timer_interrupt+0x63/0x170 [<c014d9c3>] handle_IRQ_event+0x33/0x60 [<c014daac>] __do_irq+0xbc/0x2c0 [<c0105a81>] do_irq+0x51/0x90 ======================= [<c0103c4a>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [<c0127361>] __do_softirq+0x31/0xa0 [<c0105b8e>] do_softirq+0x3e/0x50 ======================= [<c0105a88>] do_irq+0x58/0x90 [<c0103c4a>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [<c015007b>] __generic_file_aio_read+0x1db/0x210 [<c014e071>] setup_irq+0xe1/0x210 [<c0262090>] rtc_interrupt+0x0/0x2f0 [<c014e420>] request_irq+0x80/0xa0 [<c042c777>] rtc_init+0x47/0x2e0 [<c041528d>] do_initcalls+0x4d/0xb0 [<c01002a0>] init+0x0/0xf0 [<c01002bd>] init+0x1d/0xf0 [<c01012b1>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14
Confirmed as a problem on my STL-2 motherboard. Dual 866MHz PIII, 1GB RAM, no add-in cards.
Confirmed as a problem on my Intel ISP 2150: Dual 1GHz PIII, 1GB RAM, SCSI. 1. Install from CD hangs right after isapnp test. Still hangs with "noprobe" and/or "noisapnp". 2. Installed FC4 kernel (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) by installing fedora-release rpm and "yum upgrade kernel". It now hangs immediately after: "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when booting the FC3 kernel I get two copies of the following warning: "agpgart: unable to determine aperture size."

I have the same problem! My configuration: STL2, 1.256GB RAM, AHA 2200S, 8xHDD, Matrox G200 PCI 8MB RAM. Probably this is the AGP problem. After PNP devices kernel check AGP version & aperture size.
I also have the same problem! My configuration: NEC Express 5800/120Ef. It has a ServerWorks GC-SL motherboard. 1x2.8G Xeon, 1GB RAM, onboard video and network. (see http://www.nec.co.jp/express/products/brochure/120Ef_Product_guide.pdf) No idea if this is relevant but... There is a string of messages at the top of the screen with: pnp: 00-07: ioport range 0x580 to 0x58d has been reserved pnp: 00-07: ioport range 0xb04 to 0xb04 has been reserved pnp: 00-07: ioport range 0x419 to 0x41b has been reserved (total 7 of them) I have FC3 installed fine, had the same problem with a FC4 test and FC4
I found a suggestion to try: linux acpi=off at the boot prompt during install. This allowed the installation to proceed successfully. (thanks to Klaus Kruger [kkruger])
Indeed - works for me. Thanks!
OK! Working, but this is not good idea. Now I don't have any sensors รข temperature, fan...
[This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs. If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.] Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update. If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE* installing any kernel updates. If in doubt, you can recreate this file using.. mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak kudzu Thank you.
Works for me - I simply removed acpi=off and all's good now. Thanks!
