Description of problem: Since F12-Alpha (now Beta), the system is terribly slow. Booting needs about 30 minutes with a Pentium 4, 3Ghz, 2.5G RAM. And after login in, you cannot work with Gnome. I don't now if this have something to do with HD I/O? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-firmware-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.noarch kernel-PAE-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot 2.Wait 15 minutes 3.Log-in 4.Wait 10-15 minutes 5.Try do do something 6.Wait... Actual results: Everything is terribly slow. Expected results: System should work normally Additional info: I have no idea..
Setting acpi=off to the kernel parameter does workaround the problem and makes the whole system (with booting) much faster. Please inform me which information you need to fix that problem!
1. Boot the normal (slow) way 2. Then boot with acpi=off 3. Attach the files /var/log/dmesg.old and /var/log/dmesg (separate plain-text attachments) to the bug report.
Created attachment 365667 [details] dmesg.old with normal boot
Created attachment 365668 [details] dmesg with acpi=off
Created attachment 365987 [details] dmesg without acpi=off Seems to be fixed in kernel-PAE-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686, the system is booting fast and Gnome also works fine.
Thanks for reporting back.
Please reopen this bug since kernel-PAE-2.6.32-0.56.rc8.git1.fc13.i686 also boots only with "acpi=off". I just upgraded from F12 to rawhide.
