This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.27.  Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.

Hi, David
    Will you please attach the output of acpidump, lspci -vxxx?
    It will be great if you can attach the output of dmesg when the following boot option is added:
    a. pci=noacpi
    b. noapic
    c. acpi=off
    
    Will you please confirm whether the box can be booted normally when using the previous kernel(2.6.26.x)? If so, it will be a regression.
   Will you please use git-bisect to identify the commit which causes the regression?
   thanks.

noapic freezes at the same place. That was one of the first things I tried.

2.6.26 and the git-bisect will have to wait til the morn. I'm about to fall
asleep on the keys.

2.6.26.8 boots fine. I'll get started on the git-bisect.

It turns out to be a regression from 2.6.26.8 (ie. before 2.6.27).  Moving to the other list.

Hi, David
    Can the box be booted if the boot option of "noapic" is added?
    It will be great if you can use the git-bisect to identify the commit which causes the regression.
    Thanks.
Comment 7 David Pflug 2009-03-02 18:08:49 UTC
noapic was one of the first things I tried. It doesn't help.

git bisect says 5b34653963de7a6d0d8c783527457d68fddc60fb

I have no idea how those changes could be causing a problem, but there you go. I can post the full bisect log if you like.
Comment 8 David Pflug 2009-03-19 22:18:47 UTC
Is there anything else I can/should do for you?
Comment 9 David Pflug 2010-04-03 06:49:19 UTC
I don't know what changed, and doing a git bisect to figure out what's fixed would probably be a waste of time.

But it works with 2.6.33. :) Thanks!

cool. so this bug can be closed.
Comment 11 Florian Mickler 2010-04-16 06:53:18 UTC
cool. so this bug can be closed.  

if you are up to an git-bisect for the fix, it could be backported to the stable trees. but don't feel obligated to it.
