Created attachment 344540 [details] syslog from the session that lockups. Description of problem: On a fresh install, when running a PAE kernel with extra debug logging, the following message is recorded: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.29.3-140.fc11.i686.PAEdebug #1 ------------------------------------------------------- plymouthd/50 is trying to acquire lock: (&fb_info->lock){--..}, at: [<c058f424>] fb_mmap+0x88/0x160 but task is already holding lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c040c4f2>] sys_mmap2+0x49/0x80 which lock already depends on the new lock. The system then freezes when starting X if equipped with 4GB ram (might be unrelated). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): linux 2.6.29.1 PAE, 2.6.29.3 PAE How reproducible: Happens each time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a machine with 4G ram, install F11 preview. After reboot it will just freeze. 2. Next time boot to runlevel 3 - text multiuser (add 3 to the grub kernel boot line) 3. Connect to a network, run dhclient, install the kernel PAEdebug. You may even update the system and create a user. 4. Boot the debug kernel into runlevel 3. Examine output of dmesg. 5. startx and experience the lockup. Actual results: Screen freezes. Expected results: System boots into the graphical mode. Additional info: This all happens on a dual-core hp compaq 6510b laptop with intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. The lockups arent very hard as the power button usually works and so does sysrq. Running the system with 2GB ram or using a non-PAE kernel (thus making 3GB available) allows it to boot properly. In case of the PAEdebug-kernel the lock warning remains. Logs will follow. Bug 494435 might be related.

This may be fixed in kernel -155 which will be in rawhide tomorrow.
Indeed, it doesn't freeze on starting X anymore! The circular lock message is still there though.
The lockups still happen with the -167 kernel but only after some time or when a significant amount of memory has been used. The display freezes but the mouse pointer moves as if nothing happened. Any other input except for sys-rq does not work. The X log didn't reveal anything suspicious and dmesg still reports the circular lock warning.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
