Uhm... with apic=debug it booted... Although the cursor is blinking *very* fast, so there might be an issue with the timer after all... *** Bug 195275 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This seems to randomly happen, but when it happens it seems to be repeatable if you immediately reboot. This bug also occurs on the MacBook (non Pro). Sometimes I have to powercycle a couple of times before the kernel will actually get through. macbook here. Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17-1.2358.fc6PAE #1 SMP Fri Jul 7 04:18:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Can reproduce every boot. Seems boot into the operating system though without any real issues, a number of other things fail though. My apologies I assumed it was the same bug and it is not. Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17-1.2399.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Jul 14 17:43:48 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux seems to have gone. Nope, back again. (2.6.17-1.2462) Been able to reproduce it every time though. Run pm-suspend Reboot. Bug appears. Running on a Mac Book Pro here as well, still happens intermittently. I haven't trying with apic=debug, but booting with noapic solves it, and rebooting with no extra options also sometimes makes it go through. $ uname -a Linux treason 2.6.17-1.2647.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 12:51:50 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux After a long absence this dreaded bug is back again :( The newer kernels > 2.6.18-1.2741 and up have this again. Booting on a Macbook is really a hit-and-miss afair, 4 out of 5 tries result in the kernel panic. 2.6.18-1.2747 is the latest tested kernel with this problem. Seems to be fixed in FC7T2 kernels no longer need the noapic option to get it to boot. This bug is back for Macs, intermittently. The LiveCD I'm using is 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and it comes up around 1 out of 4 times. As this is such a reoccurring problem, perhaps APIC should be turned off in the default boot paramenters. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
