2.6.3: Early lockup during boot on Athlon and Opteron Boards

[Oliver Tennert]

Hi,

this happens with a 2.6.3 kernel:

- on an Athlon board (K7V333), immediately after "using anticipatory
scheduler", the system freezes, hard reset necessary.

- on an Athlon board (A7N8X Deluxe with nforce2 chipset), immediately
after the initialization of the IDE subsystem, the system freezes, hard
reset necessary.

- on an Opteron 246 board (Tyan with AMD8111/8131/8151 chipset),
immediately after the initialization of the IDE subsystem, the system
freezes, hard reset necessary.

I have applied the latest ACPI patch posted here some two days ago.

Now, this all did NOT occur with a 2.6.2 kernel or earlier.

I tried all possible boot options I know off:

noapic, acpi=off, ide?=serialize, pci=usepirq,...

it all did not help.

I realized similar problems have already been mentioned on LKML:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.3/0420.html (and
related)

Now I did not see any of the patches offered there checked in at
Bitkeeper. Also, some did apply when I gave them a try, and moreover, this
happens not only on Nforce2 boards, though the symptoms are the same.

Has anyone ideas?

Can I try something in order to get rid of this deadlock?

Best regards

Olive
