kernel 2.6.29.1-37.rc1 boots and runs normally here. kernel-2.6.29.1-46.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.29.1-52.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.29.1-54.fc11.x86_64 All fail in this same way: Boot up is normal. X comes up fine. I login. Everything starts loading. NetworkManager loads and starts trying to connect to my wireless network. Machine hard locks. No answer from any keys. ;( I do have an intel 3945 wireless here, so I wonder if: * Thu Apr 02 2009 John W. Linville <linville> - iwl3945: rely on priv->lock to protect priv access * Thu Apr 02 2009 John W. Linville <linville> - back-port iwlwifi rfkill while device down patches Could be causing it? Happy to provide more info or try any tests.
Just to be sure, could you try each of the following kernels? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=96417 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=96424 Do both of them fail similarly to -46.fc11 and after? Or perhaps just the second one?
The first of those seems to be a canceled task? I can try the second one later this morning.
Ah yes, sorry...I forgot that I cancelled that build when I added the priv->lock patch...
ok, the kernel-2.6.29.1-42.rc1.fc11.x86_64 kernel also locks up here. It locked up in a slightly different way. The others totally locked, this one I could still watch my gkrellm update and see that something was taking 100% cpu, but couldn't use the mouse/keyboard at all. Happy to try further testing.
Cool, thanks...first let's try dropping both of those patches: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1287731 Please give those kernels a try when the build completes...thanks!
2.6.29.1-64.bz495003.1.fc11.x86_64 boots and runs normally. wireless comes up, no lockup.

Looks like lots of people are hitting this on iwl3945. Not sure if that is what you have, but on a hunch I did a version that only removes the iwl3945 priv->lock patch. Would you mind trying this version (when the build completes)? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1294096

The kernel from comment #8 works fine here so far. ;)
Cool, thanks!
Special kernel seems to work fine here too after reverting to the "bad" AP configuration... great.
Appeared to get hang with -70 kernel. Didn't debug but downloaded -85 from koji which works fine with the "bad" AP. Possibly unrelated, but latest kernel seems good for this problem. Thx.
