Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2011-09-06 14:36:16 UTC
There's a similar report in Debian.  I've started a scratch kernel with the debug patch applied from there.  Could you please install it and attached the kernel output when the build completes?

1) That isn't the right kernel.  You need the kernel with the debug patch, which is the one pointed to by the URL in comment #2 and is still building.

2) We need the output of dmesg or the oops output on boot, not the RPM output.

Comment 5 Steve 2011-09-06 15:33:00 UTC
Understood, will wait and look for that kernel..

Ok, i installed kernel-debug-2.6.40.4-5.1.fc15.x86_64.rpm. The oops are the same as in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735437#c0. I can not boot up also this kernel. The picture attached shows the last state were the kernel is hanging.

Comment 7 Josh Boyer 2011-09-06 17:04:28 UTC
There should be a line printed out that looks like:

"connecting <something> to <something>

before the kernel oops output similar to what you captured in the picture in comment #1.  Can you tell us what that says?

Comment 11 Josh Boyer 2011-09-06 17:44:25 UTC
If you add ignore_loglevel to the kernel command line, does that line show up?

Comment 12 Steve 2011-09-06 18:01:21 UTC
Yep:

connecting (null)(0):0(/0) to Extension 7(0):0(/2)

proposing as NTH.

Comment 15 Josh Boyer 2011-09-07 13:34:46 UTC
This build has a patch from upstream that is expected to fix the issue.  When the build completes, could you please test it out and let us know if it works?

kernel-debug-2.6.40.4-5.2.fc15.x86_64.rpm is working for me.

Thank you very much for the debug and test effort.  I've committed the fix to the fedora repository and it will be included in the next official build for f15, f16, and rawhide.

Comment 19 Steve 2011-09-07 17:14:47 UTC
I thank You!

Comment 20 Adam Williamson 2011-09-08 16:50:49 UTC
Josh, could do you a new F16 build + update fairly soon, so we can make sure to pull this into Beta? Thanks!

There's a PCI regression/bug being worked on upstream.  A user has indicated that it's causing 734201 for him.  I'm waiting for a fix to materialize there before I do another build.  Hopefully later today/tomorrow.

Confirmed to work with Asus N43S (bug 734963). Thanks.

Comment 24 Adam Williamson 2011-09-09 18:27:28 UTC
Discussed at 2011-09-09 blocker review meeting. Accepted as Beta NTH as this causes affected systems not to boot, which obviously can't be fixed post-release.
