What is the panic?
Sorry, I'am first write bug report. Description of problem: After install FC5 test 3, kudzu crash at startup,and fristboot hangs skip kudzu & firstboot, update kudzu & kernel from rawhid, but kudzu hangs kernel at startup.I think this may be a bug in ati Xorg driver, but kudzu should not cause hangs(every thing not response,mouse, keyboard etc). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 kudzu-1.2.33 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install FC5 test3, kudzu crash at startup stage, skip it, and skip firstboot 2.update kudzu & kernel from rawhide 3.reboot, this time kudzu hangs Additional info: Acer Ferrari 4002 CPU Turion 64 1.6Mhz 1G RAM ATI X700 Graphic card
when you say ati Xorg driver, do you mean the firegl driver?
No, I am not install a firegl driver from ATI, it is xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4, there are too many bugs in xorg's x700 driver. Install FC5 test3, it can not detect LCD panel,I had to connect to a external CTR. After install stage, reboot, firstboot hangs kernel at startup, i think firstboot may try to detect and setup video mode, this cause the hangs.Skip kudzu & firstboot at starup stage, enter root, run system-config-display, it also hangs, so i think it may be a bug in xorg-x11-drv-ati.
I have a mistake, xorg-x11-drv-ati is not a kernel mode driver, please check aty kernel driver.
Update kernel,kudzu,firstboot,system-config-display from rawhide, alse hangs. kernel-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5 kudzu-1.2.34.1-1 firstboot-1.4.6-1 system-config-display-1.0.37-1
I'm experiencing the same problem with the latest rawhide build (2006-03-13). If I boot in text-mode (without the rhgb boot option) everything boots normal. When in graphical boot the system freezes (no messages in the console) when kuzdu is launched. My specs : Acer Aspire 5024WLMi AMD Turion 1.8Ghz proc ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (PCI-X)
Would an strace of just before the systeem freeze be of any help ?
Sure.
Here goes : open("/proc/ide/ide0/driver", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/proc/ide/ide0/media", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) getdents(3, /* 0 entries */, 8192) = 0 close(3) = 0 readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "/dev/tty1", 4096) = 9 readlink("/proc/self/fd/1", "/dev/tty1", 4096) = 9 readlink("/proc/self/fd/2", "/dev/tty1", 4096) = 9 open("/dev/console", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, TIOCLINUX, 0x7fffffcbaf9f) = 0 open("/dev/zero", O_RDWR) = 6 mmap(0x10000, 524288, PROT_READ|PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 6, 0) = 0x10000 close(6) = 0 open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR) = 6 mmap(NULL, 1282, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 6, 0) = 0 mmap(0xa0000, 393216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 7, 0xa0000) = 0xa0000 close(6) = 0 iopl(0x3) = 0 ioperm(0, 0x400, 0x1) = 0 iopl(0x3) = 0 ioperm(0, 0x400, 0x1) = 0 iopl(0x3) = 0 ioperm(0, 0x400, 0x1) = 0 == freeze == This is with all the latest updates from rawhide installed. X.Org is using the 'radeon' driver and the kernel modules 'radeon' and 'drm' are also loaded. The freeze doesn't occur when the systeem is booted without the 'rhgb' kernel option. If X.Org has started, afterwards killed (init 3), the kernel modules 'radeon' and 'drm' manually unloaded and kudzu is run, the freeze also occurs. Hope this info helps.
Interesting. The freeze only occurs when X is running?
Not only when X is running, but also after X has been killed. As long as X hasn't started yet, kudzu works just fine.
This bug no longer exists in the current rawhide (kudzu 1.2.36-2, kernel 2.6.16-1.2227_FC6, xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.0-3) so this bug can be closed.
