Description GoinEasy9 2010-09-07 03:37:22 UTC
Description of problem: Lockup during boot.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-PAE-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.i686

How reproducible: Boot the computer.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results: Boot stops with 2 lines appearing on screen.
[drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0 gpio tag 0xff not found
[drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0 gpio tag 0xff not found

Expected results:


Additional info:  I started with the yum upgrade to the 2.6.34.6-47 kernel, which locked up due to the pci=nocrs problem.  I tried the 2.6.34.6-52 kernel from koji which fixed the pci=nocrs problem but boot continues to lock with the 2 [drm] lines listed above.  Tonight I tried the 2.6.34.6-54 kernel with the same results.  There is no wacom tablet attached to this laptop as I've read about in other bugs.
The laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and the one difference between this computer and the other 5 I have running F13 is that this machine has dual video cards.

I'm attaching the /var/log/messages file from the point where I installed the 2.6.34 kernel, to the time I restarted with the 2.6.33 kernel, which does not have this problem.  Fact is, until this point F13 has run flawlessly on this laptop.

Hmm, the log you posted appears to be truncated?

Comment 3 GoinEasy9 2010-09-09 23:48:47 UTC
As I said at the bottom of my post, that log was from the time I installed the 2.6.34 kernel, to the time I restarted and brought the computer up with the 2.6.33 kernel.  I truncated it because I thought it was easier.  I will attach the whole message log from that day.

Comment 5 Luigi Pardey 2010-09-11 13:08:23 UTC
Have you tried booting non-PAE kernels, just to discard if the problem relates directly to the nouveau driver or it's the interaction between the kernel and the driver. As you specified, kernel 2.6.34 PAE is the one presenting the issue.

However, could you also attach the Xorg log file please?

Comment 6 GoinEasy9 2010-09-11 16:54:30 UTC
I tried installing the non-PAE kernel, with the same results:
A locked up laptop with the same message:
[drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0 gpio tag 0xff not found
[drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0 gpio tag 0xff not found
Trying to ssh into the laptop failed, the OS is totally locked, I am also seeing the caps-lock key flashing.
I'm attaching a copy of the most recent Xorg.0.log, although there is no 2.6.34 listing in the log.

Comment 8 Luigi Pardey 2010-09-13 10:29:27 UTC
Thanks for the attachments, the bug will be reviewed soon.
IMO it's a problem with the 2.6.34.6 Kernels, though I would wait the maintainer's opinion to see if we leave it here or move it.

Same with kernel-PAE-2.6.34.6-56.fc13.i686 kernel.

I get those same nouveau boot messages, but system boots (hangs later with VLC / playing MPEG-2 within 15 to 45 min

Now that debugging has been disabled in the 2.6.35 F14 kernel, I installed the most recent one, and it's working fine.  I guess I'll just let the 2.6.34 kernel pass this laptop by.  Maybe I'll search down the changelog for the 2.6.35 kernel and see if the dual video card was one of the problems that got fixed.

Thanks for the help.

Comment 12 Ben Skeggs 2010-09-26 01:39:39 UTC
Ah, this would have been fixed by 2.6.35.5-30 actually.  I'll mark it as a dup of 636326, which will get closed when a sufficiently updated kernel is in updates.
