(also tried with acpi-20050729-2.6.13-rc6.diff.bz2 from kernel.org) Asus K8N-DL hangs at boot. I did some instrumentation and the acpi_device_list gets a node that points to itself, which causes an hang later when the list is walked. Still debugging, but Len asked for an acpidmp
Created attachment 5778 [details] acpidmp
I must add I cannot supply a boot log because the Serial port seems to be broken on that board
Another detail: the device that loops calls itself MEM0
Problem still happens in 2.6.14rc1.
toasted acpi_device_list? Does the fix here help:? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116763
With that change the hang goes away yes. It still doesn't boot fully without pci=noacpi unfortunately, apparently the NIC interrupt gets misrouted. I get (on the pci=noacpi boot, on the one that hangs it is difficult to get a log because serial is broken and the machine has a nfs root) ACPI: Subsystem revision 20050902 ACPI-0339: *** Error: Looking up [\_SB_.PCI0.LNK0] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND search_node ffff810001e3ca00 start_node ffff810001e3ca00 return_node 0000000000000000 ACPI-0339: *** Error: Looking up [\_SB_.PCI0.APC0] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND search_node ffff810001e3c9c0 start_node ffff810001e3c9c0 return_node 0000000000000000 ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
okay, thanks, lets keep 1 failure per 1 bug report.
fix found by Thomas in comment #5 shipped in 2.6.16. closed.
