Description Lei Ming 2005-11-29 08:14:44 UTC

Description of problem:

The machine is a DELL GX280 desktop, with a 3GHz Pentium 4 processor,
HyperThread enabled. The video card is an integrated i810 class card.

The 2.6.9-22.ELsmp kernel will panic when starting X server. The previous
2.6.9-11.ELsmp kernel and the 2.6.9-22.EL UP kernel have no this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.9-22.ELsmp
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the 2.6.9-22.ELsmp kernel into single user mode.
2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/X
3. Wait for about ten seconds.
  
Actual results:

kernel panic with this stack:

change_page_attr+0x2d/0x50
unmap_page_from_agp+0x17/0x24
agp_generic_destroy_page+0x17/0x24
agp_free_memory+0x62/0x82
agp_remove_all_memory+0x12/0x16
agp_remove_controller+0x2e/0x5e
agp_release+0x61/0x9e
__fput+0x55/0x100
filp_close+0x59/0x5f
put_files_struct+0x57/0xc0
do_exit+0x227/0x3de
sys_exit_group+0x0/0xd
syscall_call+0x7/0xb
__lock_text_end+0x11a/0x100f

Code:

89 F0 09 DA 89 54 24 44 ...

Expected results:

The X server starts normally without kernel panic.

If boot this 2.6.99-22.EL kernel into the normal runlevel (5), the system will
freeze at starting X. The screen will remain black.
