It is a bug if you have to un-config PM_TIMER to boot. anyway, lets get some clues. With PM_TIMER included, do any of the "clock=*" options make the system boot properly? * can be "pit, tsc, or hpet" Unfortunately, none of clock=* options have worked for me. PM timer acts strangely in my Linux system. I guess it affects all 2.6.x kernels. I have tried to use the minimal config of the kernel 2.6.14/16 (2.6.15 crashes my computer even if I turned off PM timer) with PM timer turned on. it hangs up at "Coldplug/Hotplug" stage. The chipset of TravelMate 3000 is i915G, I'm using the latest BIOS from Acer engineering website: http://csd.acer.com.tw/SI/Download2.nsf/NotebookWeb username: guest password: guest Sorry, I realize that the issue might not be caused by timers. This morning I just disable PM timer by modifying /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h And it still hangs up somewhere just before login prompt appears (still can reboot by CTRL_ALT_DEL) With same kernel configuration I got no problem for 2.6.14. and no problem for 2.6.15 if PM timer is disabled. but a problem for 2.6.16 no matter if the PM timer is set. News: mm-version kernel 2.6.16-mm has no problem at all! Just now I disabled Gentoo-linux parallel-services (/etc/conf.d/rc: RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no"), and then the system boot-up normally! this happens on >=2.6.15 kernels. |
