I made more tests with differents kernels and something interesting came out making me think definitely that something is really wrong in kernels 2.6.11 series : when booting with the acpi=off kernel argument here are the results : 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp boots OK 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp crash after APIC and agpgart initializing 2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp crash after APIC and agpgart initializing (same place) I took a photo of the screen when crashing, viewable at http://stranche.free.fr/crash-boot-2611.jpg >Hi, > >since the kernel upgrade to 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 my motherboard doesn't turn >the power off after the shutdown processus. > >the runlevel shuts down all the daemons, turns off the disks but the >power still remain on the motherboard, so that you have no display, no >working mouse or keyboard, no spinning disk, just the ATX power and the >motherboard with power on but the machine seems dead. > >pressing the power button doesn't change a thing, even if you press it >for one minute, you have to pull the cord out... > >tryed to use acpi=force at boot time, no change > >tryed to toggle enable/disable the "ACPI v2.0 support" in my motherboard >bios settings, no change. > >the same happens if you shutdown with the gnome panel menu Shutdown or >press once the power button, the runlevel runs fine but power remains at >the end. > >Everything was fine since fedora core 2 and all its kernel upgrade and >fedora core 3 upon 2.6.10-1.770_FC3. > >For information my motherboard is a Tyan Tiger K8W, more at >http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tigerk8w.html > >I have read some threads in the mailling list about the kernel being instable >for some people, I'm wondering if something isn't very wrong with the ACPI >since this kernel version. > >I am ready to make some tests or give more informations if needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
