does this get fixed if you use "acpi=off" ? Yes, the SMP-kernel now boots up fine. For a beta-release we're now OK, this issue can be closed. Please attach the output of 'dmidecode' from the kernel-utils package on your system. Created attachment 89028 [details]
Output from dmidecode as requested
I ran successfully a test with Memtest86 3.0 on the hardware. I should also mention that this test-machine has also successfully run Solaris 8 and FreeBSD 4.7 UP. The reason that I mention this is that I get both SMP and UP kernel oops (with acpi=off, obviously) when I have httpd started during boot-up, which was a big surprise. If I start httpd from a Gnome-terminal, the kernel doesn't Oops, but httpd goes into infinite 99.9% CPU consumption. Unfortunately it is difficult to get good Oops messages for this. Sometimes the screen just goes black, sometimes the messages are reported very fast in an infinite loop. Should this be reported as a separate error? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82123 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Description of problem: The SMP-version of the kernel oopses every time i try to start it. The UP-kernel works fine. Various 7.1 and 7.2 smp-kernels (including errata) have worked fine on the same hardware. This is the message on the screen. 00000068 *pde=00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 1 EIP: 0060:[<00000068>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010246 EIP is at Using_Versions[] 0x67 (2.4.20-2.2smp) eax: 00000000 ebx: c2522000 ecx: 00000002 edx: c2522000 esi: c01070c0 edi: 00000000 ebp: 00000000 esp: c2523fb8 ds: 0068 es: 0068 ss: 0068 Process swapper (pid: 0, Stackpage = c2523000) Stack: c0107164 00000002 00000000 00000cb9 00000cb9 c01226c5 00000cb9 00000282 ffffffff 00000000 00000001 00000282 00000001 c040de4a 00000246 0000002a 00000000 c0122932 Call Trace [<c0107164>] cpu_idle [kernel] 0x24 (0xc2523fb8) [<c01226c5>] call_console_drivers [kernel] 0x65 (0xc2523fcc) [<c0122932>] printk [kernel] 0x142 (0xc2523ffc) Code: Bad EIP Value <0> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
