Description of problem: After installing latest kernel, system sometimes halts for few seconds. When halts happen, "top" shows [kacpi_notify] consuming all available CPU. There is no messages neither in dmesg nor system logs. Right now my system looks like hung, but responds to ping over network. Alsa I can't loging by ssh. Hardware is Sun Java Workstation w1100z with single Opteron 150, 1 GB RAM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 up-to-date as today, kernel 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 Sun w1100z with latest BIOS: R01-B5 S1 How reproducible: Happens very often.
Disabling cpufreq (AMD PowerNow!) in BIOS seems to fix this issue.
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged.
Yes, this is still happening with 2.6.23.9-85.fc8. As I noted, disabling cpufreq make this issue go away. Cpufreq could be disabled in bios or by echoing "performance"/"powersave" to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Okay, thanks for the feedback and additional info. Re-assigning to cpufreq maintainer...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
