Description of problem: tried to install fc6.91 on my home box, but the installer stopped after these lines: ------- - User ID: Red Hat, Inc. (Kernel Module GPG key) io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) PCI: Bypassing VIA 8237 APIC De-Assert Message ------- I've tried with vga=791 kernel parameter and freezed after these lines: -------- - User ID: Red Hat, Inc. (Kernel Module GPG key) io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) PCI: Bypassing VIA 8237 APIC De-Assert Message pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 vesafb: framebuffer at 0xd0000000, mapped to 0xe0880000, using 3072k, total 65536k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=0 vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:c220 vesafb: pmi: set display start = c00cc265, set palette = c00cc2ea vesafb: pmi: ports = b4c3 b503 ba03 c003 c103 c403 c503 c603 c703 c803 c903 cc03 ce03 cf03 d003 d103 d203 d303 d403 d503 da03 ff03 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device -------- tried to switch off acpi support of the mainboard, but nothing changed. The install media is OK, 'cause I can install it within a vmware machine. How reproducible: My environment is an asus p4v8x-x MB, 2,4GHz celeron, 512MB of RAM Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot text or graphic mode 2. see the results 3. be upset
This isn't obvious anywhere, but Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against the "devel" version.
In the fc6.92 this also occurs as follows: --------------- io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) PCI: Bypassing VIA 8237 APIC De-Assert Message pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 PM: Adding info for platform:vesafb.0 --------------------- As I can see in a working system, after this message should be continued with two lines with ACPI messages, but before it the system freezes, as I can't switch off-on with numlock. --- Additionally: this box works for two years without problems, momently with FC-6 for 20-22 hours a day, memtest86+ can't find any errors.
might be this bug is somewere around the new kernel features. I've tried to compile a new v2.6.21 kernel from vanilla, and the problem is the same. Dont't know what the differences between 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 and 2.6.21, and what common changes are in 2.6.21 and fc6-test-x kernels, but there may be the bug
Sounds very much like a kernel ACPI bug, so reassigning to kernel. Read ya, Phil
maybe, thatswhy I was already sent this bug to the kernel developers: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8454
was test3 any better?
