Description Mary Ellen Foster 2009-08-21 09:59:17 UTC
Created attachment 358216 [details]
Xorg.0.log showing the crash

Description of problem:
With the latest kernel, a Radeon X700 graphics card is not detected any more on boot, and X therefore (of course) won't start. The graphics card doesn't even show up in lspci output. Booting previous kernels works fine, so this is clearly a kernel issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.30.5-28.rc2.fc11

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot kernel-2.6.30.5-28.rc2.fc11
  
Actual results:
X crashes because there is no graphics card

Expected results:
Things working

Additional info:
I'll attach the Xorg.0.log, along with lspci output from a working and a non-working kernel

lspci output from a previous (working) kernel, for comparison

Here's the "diff" between the two lspci outputs -- both of these devices are detected with the working (older) kernel and not with the newer kernel:

1a2
> 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 04)
14a16
> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE)

Comment 3 Mary Ellen Foster 2009-08-22 10:51:15 UTC
Same symptoms with kernel-2.6.30.5-32.fc11.

A couple more details about the computer in question: it's an Acer TravelMate 8100 with a Radeon X700 mobility graphics card.

Comment 4 Mary Ellen Foster 2009-08-26 10:26:54 UTC
Possibly related to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13720 ?

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2009-08-26 16:16:51 UTC
Can you post the contents of /var/log/dmesg after booting each of the working and broken kernels? (separate attachments, plain text)

dmesg from broken kernel

Comment 8 Chuck Ebbert 2009-08-27 23:39:02 UTC
Can you try adding:

  pci=noacpi

to the kernel boot options?

Comment 9 Chuck Ebbert 2009-08-27 23:59:27 UTC
Maybe ACPI thinks the video card is in a dock. You can see the IRQ for the bridge get disabled before an undock occurs:

pcieport-driver 0000:00:01.0: PCI INT A disabled
ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.DOCK - undocking

2.6.29 shows an undock but no IRQ disable...

dmesg when booting with pci=noacpi

Booting with pci-noacpi seems to have worked properly. Here's the dmesg from a successful boot.

Comment 11 Matthew Garrett 2009-08-28 16:53:35 UTC
Can you install the pmtools package, run acpidump as root and attach the output?

output of acpidump

Here's the output of acpidump as requested.

Comment 13 Jérôme Glisse 2009-10-14 10:58:24 UTC
Do you still have this issue with new kernel (you can try fedora 12 live cd for instance).

Comment 14 Vedran Miletić 2009-12-05 10:34:00 UTC
Reporter doesn't reply for over a month. Closing as insufficent data.
