------- Comment #19 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-09-18 12:53 ------- hi, you wrote: > > Arne, > Did it work for you with the above BIOS setting? > NO. ---------------------- About my situation: I am only a "user" of Linux, and this was my first introduction to bugzilla. Had no idea how to report, where, but felt forced to do it - as I have been been 'ranting/screaming/etc' all over ;) I am "out of date", both with hardware and current development culture. In fact, I may need some tutoring. Now some words about the bug report: Description from Florian Delizy, did seem close to my results. It is assigned to "ACPI", which also seem correct. It relates to nVidia chips, serial ATA, and sofort. ( EU versus Microsoft, September 17th, 2007 - as that is somewhat linked to this situation. The ACPI draft included Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, and Phoenix, Toshiba. But here we have "ACPI-2" (my invented term) So ? It is the next frontier. ) As only Microsoft has keys to the BIOS, I have no way to do any settings. Perhaps, I am missing something ? ( configure options in the kernel ? ) At the moment I am running 2.6.23-0.184.rc6.git4.fc8, writing these words on the machine. But what a way to get it started: - I toggle the power button, "interrupt" the system, - have to do it at the right place, and the right duration. May use several attempts. Quote Florian's initial description: "...the kernel panics not finding any root partition (it seems that sata_nv does not get initialized and does not probe anything in the log)." - this is what he 'sees' - the kernel hasn't started logging, and he only have the messages that is displayed. If you look at my entered comment #14 - section "Identical configured kernels,..", it gives some more info then Florian's example. ( it's difficult to remember, and I have lost the system...but..) a:) in /etc/grub.conf , I changed the kernel/vmlinux.... to verbose, instead of quiet. b:) ..hmm...could it be /etc/sysconfig ?? Anyway, there was a scsi file or header, in which I changed a similar (?? -q) entry, to be (?? -v -v ) , perhaps even more detailed verbose report. ( Note: my ?? marks above could have been -r, just don't recall ) Because Opensuse will give a 'shell', instead of simply exit with a 'kernel panic', I did manage to get quite a bit of info, which also included memory contents for each executed command. But I had no media to save it to. Not even a serial port. c:) But what did this tell me ? - the modules are loaded into memory, start executing - would first check the primary drive, which it finds ( it made a file system in ram, installed modules and system. Opensuse simply quit here, instead of closing with a "kernel panic". ) It did boot the disk, but it will first check the rest of the file system, CDROM, etc. The drive has already stopped in order to save power, and perhaps you wanted to run a live CD instead ? A think a command 'resume' is given, and THIS is when it writes: ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300 ) // top of my first section comment#14 ( it is about here that I toggle the power button, and 'jump start it' - which on occation may be successful ) d:) Something killed the machine, and I lost those kernels. Had some results at a email-list, which I copied to that bug-report. Got the message: MCP67M would be in kernel2.6.22.6, and Fedora had released F8t1. But at the moment, I have no kernel source to work with, and I am uncertain if I will dig into it. My programming skills are in much doubt, the time it may take me to become familar with it, well..what good would that do ? So, I had to give bugzilla an attempt. Sooner or later, I will have learn some of it too. e:) This new "ACPI-2", well..it may not be anything new to you. But comparing specs, and other things, linux may have to decide upon either Intel or AMD, at a much earlier stage. I think that may be part of the plan. It's no problem for them - the OS is preinstalled. However, this isn't the real obstacle for linux. It is other aspects that will be a closed door. you wrote: > > Copying Tejun, this problem seems to be different from the one in original > report.

My reason for the last entry above, as my impression is that "the right hand may not know what the left is doing". This last part may be some speculation on my part, but I think it should be pretty obvious what is on the horizon. One last thing: perhaps if we compared actual models, and compared them - the picture would be easier to grasp ? ( it hasn't appeared all of a sudden, it is a ongoing development ) //ARNE [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8034 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- Comment #17 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-09-17 22:49 ------- Arne, Did it work for you with the above BIOS setting? Copying Tejun, this problem seems to be different from the one in original report. Might need a separate bugzilla. Fransois, can you provide more information? It would be better to have new bugzilla open for your case also.
