Latest working kernel version: n/a Earliest failing kernel version: any I've seen Distribution: Debian/sid Hardware Environment:AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ ASUS M3A-H/HDMI Software Environment: Problem Description: I have a board and a video card that support hybrid crossfire. If I turn on the onboard graphic feature the init dies with kernel panic. The problem was also reported on other places on the Internet. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=27129&sid=4cd6544dc7cf6064b0211370fa7698ec https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/305165 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6403688 The interesting thing is that AMD's current closed source (linux) graphic driver support hybrid crossfire. Steps to reproduce: Turn on the Surround View feature in the bios (turning on the onboard graphic). Boot a kernel (I've tried i386 and amd64) The init dies with kernel panic. (windows works fine)
geeze, there isn't much to go on here. I can't find a complete trace of the kernel crash anywhere.
I've made few picture. http://profile.imageshack.us/user/balihb/images the first two made with quiet boot parameter, and the last two made without it.
That does not help much. Is there a chance that you can log the boot messages including the panic with a serial console ? Add "console=ttyS0,115200" to the kernel command line and connect the serial port to another PCs serial port. On that PC run a terminal program (e.g. minicom) and capture the messages which come along. Thanks, tglx
Created attachment 19803 [details] log (without quiet) I've finaly managed to make the null modem cable work. This log made without quiet.
Created attachment 19804 [details] log (with quiet) and with quiet

Created attachment 19806 [details] my current dmesg this is from /var/log/dmesg. I hope it'll be enough. Is there any kernel (debug) option I can recompile my kernel with to help debugging the problem?

Created attachment 19807 [details] ignore_loglevel I hope it'll help
Please add "initcall_debug" to the crossfire enabled boot as well. Thanks, tglx
Created attachment 19810 [details] initcall_debug I've found a kernel that works with onboard video enabled. My motherboad has an embedded linux (ExpressGate 1.3.3.1 (SplashTop)) and it boots up flawlessly with the onboard graphics enabled. I don't know what kernel it use, but it's source (config) should be available somewhere.
according to http://www.splashtop.com/open_source.php the kernel express gate use is 2.6.20
