Bug#816751: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: Boot hangs at ata_piix message under 3.16.x, but works with 3.2.x version graph
This doesn't seem to be Debian-specific. I tried a number of other distro's live installers on USB -- current versions of Ubuntu, Arch, CoreOS, Fedora, Puppy, System Rescue -- and experienced boot hangs at various points with each. After much fiddling with ACPI kernel boot parameters, I was able to get reliable boots using 'nolapic' -- which effectively reduced the system to one core. I subsequently narrowed it down to working with 'nolapic_timer', and after comparing the dmesg output of 3.2.x to 3.16.x, began to suspect the underlying problem was related to intel_idle -- which was disabled for the Atom N2000 family under 3.2.x, but enabled in 3.16.x ... I think this is the commit: http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm=139068510624936=2 In the end, I found that I could boot the 3.16 kernel with: intel_idle.max_cstate=0 which seems to effectively disable intel_idle and fall back the ACPI idle driver. Cheers, Chad

Package: src:linux Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Dear Maintainer, This machine had been running with an up-to-date version of Wheezy for over a year. Following a dist-upgrade to Jessie, it no longer boots under the 3.16.x kernel, seeming to hang when loading/initializing the ATA library. The last boot message refers to ata_piix (see below). It boots and runs fine under the 3.2.x LTS kernel, however. -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached Last line in kernel log is: ata_piix :00:1f.2: MAP [ P0 P2 P1 P3 ] ** Model information Jetway JBC372F36W Intel Atom N2600 Compact Fanless Barebone See: http://www.logicsupply.com/jbc372f36w/ sys_vendor: Jetway product_name: product_version: chassis_vendor: chassis_version: bios_vendor: American Megatrends Inc. bios_version: 4.6.4 board_vendor: Jetway board_name: JBC372F36W board_version: JBC372F36W-2600-B ** Network interface configuration: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
