When booting the installer on an Intel STL2 serverworks mainboard, the installer kernel hangs with a soft lockup detected on cpu#0: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! Pid: 1, comm: swapper EIP: 0060:[<c011d4fd>] CPU: 0 EIP is at __do_softirq+0x2c/0x7f EFLAGS: 00000206 Not tainted (2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 #1) EAX: c03c4000 EBX: 00000020 ECX: dfb1ff64 EDX: dfb1eaa0 ESI: c03f1700 EDI: 0000000a EBP: 00000400 DS: 007b ES: 007b CR0: 8005003b CR2: fff85000 CR3: 003bf000 CR4: 000006d0 [<c0105599>] do_softirq+0x38/0x3f ======================= [<c0105558>] do_IRQ+0x6e/0x77 [<c0103b4a>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [<c02d6e81>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0xa/0xc [<c0137722>] setup_irq+0xba/0xe3 [<c0211a55>] rtc_interrupt+0x0/0xdf [<c01377ba>] request_irq+0x6f/0x8b [<c03ab902>] rtc_init+0x67/0x18c [<c01002e0>] init+0x77/0x1ab [<c0100269>] init+0x0/0x1ab The complete bootlog is attached with the looping message snipped after some repetitions. Adding acpi=off to the commandline makes the system boot up correctly. The current rawhide kernel 2.6.15-1.1975_FC5smp does not show this problem, when acpi=off is omitted on the commandline.
Changed the product version. Sorry, the problem was on fc5t3
interrupt routing in the non-acpi case is getting pretty abysmal on a lot of newer machines. The answer is "don't disable acpi" for a lot of them. the latest build has a nosoftlockup boot command line option that disables this checker, but it sounds like things still aren't too healthy even without that running. (rawhide is a bit stale right now, newest kernel is linked off http://people.redhat.com/davej)
I see something like this under 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 on a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop that must boot with "acpi=off irqpoll". Also involved: a pcmcia card that claims to support USB2.0 (but is limited to 1.2MB/s throughput) and IEEE1394 (17MB/s) using VIA 82xxxx interface. I will attach /var/log/messages and output from lspci.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
Closing bug as WORKSFORME. I haven't seen it with recent kernels anymore.
