Hi all, When the CPUIDLE driver is enabled, my computer fails to boot with the error "Fatal machine check - not syncing", on my Core i7 920. Unfortunately I don't have any technical dumps to hand but I guess I could boot up a live cd and write it all down if neccessary Thanks a lot
Any progress?
please enable CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y again. boot with both command line params intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1 and capture the complete dmesg increase N in processor.max_cstate=N until failure or until you stop seeing a max_cstate message in dmesg (probably at 4). then increase N in intel_idle.max_cstate=N from 1 onward until no max_cstate message. capture the dmesg for the last one that works and report the 1st one to fail.
What kernel is this reported against? Is it still a problem with v3.0?
Hi, I'm very sorry I forgot all about this... I'm not entirely sure if it's still a problem with v3.0, my dilemma is, I can't even get a Linux distro to install... I'll burn my distro I made a while ago with Suse sources and try what you said
It's great that the kernel bugzilla is back. Can you please verify if the problem still exists in the latest upstream kernel?
bug closed as there is no response from the bug reporter. please feel free to reopen it if the problem still exists in the latest upstream kernel.
