Description Philip Ashmore 2006-09-26 16:42:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When installing FC6 test 3 before the graphical part of the installation
process, parts of the displayed text gets overritten by garbage - mostly the
bottom part.

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

How reproducible:
1 out of 1 times

Steps to Reproduce:
1. PXE boot FC6 test 3
2. Try to read as much/quickly as possible before display gets overwritten by
garbage
  
Actual results:
n/a

Expected results:
n/a

Additional info:
If you've done a few installs you can piece together what should be displayed in
order to continue.
Once the graphical part of the install commences, it's ok.

This is a kernel oops -- can you switch to tty2 afterwards and grab /tmp/syslog?

Comment 3 Philip Ashmore 2006-09-28 16:37:53 UTC
I had to swap hard disks between my two laptops to install this via PXE on a
spare partition, I then swapped them back again - I can't do that again.
I've attached my current /var/log/messages above in the hope that you can
determine the problem from that - I know I saw one kernel problem there.
Feel free to query/post bug reports based on any other problems you spot in this
log.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2006-09-28 21:48:44 UTC
Two separate problems here, both a BUG(), and a lockdep trace.


Comment 5 John W. Linville 2006-09-29 15:25:44 UTC
The lockdep issue should be cured in 2.6.18.

Comment 6 Andy Gospodarek 2006-10-27 22:39:35 UTC
The BUG looks to be a mdelay in irg context....

Comment 7 Andy Gospodarek 2006-10-30 21:41:00 UTC
and in irq context

Comment 8 Andy Gospodarek 2007-02-01 20:17:45 UTC
The warning printed as a result of the mdelay in an irq context isn't critical.
 Are you still seeing both of these problems with the latest fc6 kernel or just
the BUG warning?

Comment 9 Philip Ashmore 2007-02-02 13:15:17 UTC
This was an installation problem with FC6 test 3 (see above) via PXE.

On a seperate install I attempted to use an update repository but the graphical
messages seemed to indicate that the FC6 core RPMS were the ones being installed.
The installation didn't complete so I had to go back to
1. Install base system - FC6 release 
2. yum -y update with a locally mirrored updates repository
