From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.1 (like Gecko) Description of problem: Previous kernels had various bugs, but this is the first of FC5 test that doesn't work at all on my x86_64 box. Sorry, can't tell you much since I can't even scoll back to see the messages, but it's some traceback regarding acpi. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.1895_FC5 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 2. 3. Additional info:
Problem still there kernel-2.6.15-1.1898_FC5
can you capture the traceback maybe with a digital camera? (if so: Boot with vga=791 or vga=1 to get more lines of text onscreen)
Created attachment 124136 [details] picture Sorry about quality, hope it helps I have tested every kernel update since before FC5T2, and only since 1895 has this happened. It does not happen with 1884 or earlier.
Created attachment 124152 [details] another picture This is using VANILLA 2.6.16-rc2 with .config copied from kernel-2.6.15-1.1898_FC5. Looks like the same problem.
that's cpufreq doing a divide by zero. Tomorrows kernel should have a fix for this, but even if it boots, please attach a dmesg after it boots, as there may be a warning in there that'll help narrow down where this problem came from.

Comments were missing. Today's kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.1907_FC5 does NOT fix the problem. Here is a picture captured from 1907 boot.
ouch, that's a backtrace from hell. hopefully the acpi guys have some clues on that one.
fixed in 2.6.15-1.1926
