Description of problem:

radeon driver gets kernel panic at boot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

With AGP Radeon cards on i845 motherboard

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get i845 motherboard
2. Get ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP (512MB memory, 64bit bus)
3. Try to boot Fedora 15
4. kernel panic on boot stage
  
Actual results:
Incorrect work of radeon driver

Expected results:
Correct work of radeon driver

Additional info:
using nomodeset option allows to boot , but driver changes from radeon to radeonhd. radeon driver never works on my system

Comment 1 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2011-02-24 10:08:37 UTC
There is no radeonhd driver (or xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd package) in Fedora 15.

Reassigning to xorg-x11-drv-ati (which contains the Xorg driver "radeon"), even though a kernel panic technically is a kernel issue.

Comment 2 Vitezslav Humpa 2011-02-27 18:09:22 UTC
I second to this crash report with Mobility Radeon HD 3650 on Toshiba Satellite A300D-213 (hw detail: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvision.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=1064822) 

Reproduce:
1. Get the Sattelite a300d-213 laptop. (Or perhaps any with Mobility Radeon HD 3650)
2. Boot Fedora 15
3. Completely unresponsive system requiring hard restart on boot stage

Additional info:
Happened while using X Test days life CD (no pervasive storage), thus unfortunately there was NO way of obtaining logs after restart.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2011-02-28 20:38:44 UTC
Could we get at least photo of the screen with the error messages around the kernel panic?

Meanwhile, it could be possible to use your computer if you add nomodeset to the kernel command line. Does it help?

Thank you very much for helping as with this bad case.

Comment 4 splix20 2011-03-02 07:34:08 UTC
I can't get photo of the error messages because screen is totally black after kernel panic.

If I add NOMODESET option, kernel panic doesn't happen, but I can't see anything, I see only totally black screen and movable mouse cursor. Normal booting of Fedora is possible only if I select BASIC VIDEO in boot menu, i. e. driver will be VESA.

I am sorry I have misremembered when I said about radeonhd. It was in OpenSuse 11.3.

Comment 5 splix20 2011-03-02 07:40:44 UTC
And one more point: lspci -nnk detects my card as
#01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series [1002:9598]
#        Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 [1002:9598]


But my computer is not notebook, it is desktop. And video card is not Mobility series . It is ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP

Comment 6 splix20 2011-03-02 07:48:24 UTC
I have photo from OpenSuse 11.3 kernel panic with radeon driver. May be it will help you.

Comment 7 Jérôme Glisse 2011-03-07 15:14:49 UTC
It's working ok with lastest f15 bits on PCIE RV635 (HD3650) GPU please update and report.

Comment 9 Dave Airlie 2011-03-12 07:46:31 UTC
care to open this bug upstream in freedesktop.org, I expect the AMD guys will want to look and get a copy of the BIOS, it looks like setting the mode may hit an irq before we  are completely setup to get them.

Comment 10 splix20 2011-03-12 17:21:00 UTC
Dave Airlie , i reported this bug to bugs.freedesktop.org

Bug ID is 35253

Comment 11 splix20 2011-03-18 17:11:32 UTC
At bugs.freedesktop.org some professional suggested to use 'radeon.agpmode=-1' boot option. I used it and OpenSuse 11.3 successfully boots with 'radeon' driver.

I am experiencing this issue with the Fedora 15, running on Lenovo Thinkpad T500 with Radeion HD 3650 as well. However, using splix advice to add 'radeon.agpmode=-1' solved the issue. I was able to boot using nomodeset option, but had some issues with display once booted. agpmode=-1 seems to be working correctly

Comment 13 Jérôme Glisse 2011-06-27 21:13:46 UTC
Ryan i doubt radeon.agpmode has any effect for you please open a bug on your own if lastest f15 still have this issue and describe exactly what is happening for you

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:27:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
