[gentoo-user] laptop brocken since kernel 2.6.14
Hi list, my little PIII-M 600MHz Laptop doesn't boot with kernel =2.6.14. I have several systems from PII to Dual-Xeon all fine with 2.6.14. I don't know how to trouble-shoot this problem. since 2.6.14 the kernel stops early before vesafb. The last lines look like this (taken from dmesg of 2.6.13): Boot video device is :00:09.0 PCI: Using IRQ router PIIX/ICH [8086/7198] at :00:07.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device :00:0b.0 PCI: BIOS reporting unknown device 00:01 PCI: BIOS reporting unknown device 00:02 PCI: Bus 1, cardbus bridge: :00:08.0 IO window: 2000-2fff IO window: 4000-4fff PREFETCH window: 0c00-0dff MEM window: 0e00-0fff PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device :00:08.0 Simple Boot Flag at 0x37 set to 0x1 Machine check exception polling timer started. output from dmesg (2.6.13-gentoo-r3) https://po2.uni-stuttgart.de/~ruslucas/laptop/dmesg-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 output of lspci -v https://po2.uni-stuttgart.de/~ruslucas/laptop/lspci config of gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3 https://po2.uni-stuttgart.de/~ruslucas/laptop/config-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 config of gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2 https://po2.uni-stuttgart.de/~ruslucas/laptop/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 config of vanilla-sources-2.6.15-rc4 https://po2.uni-stuttgart.de/~ruslucas/laptop/config-2.6.15-rc4 Can someone help me?

since 2.6.14 the kernel stops early before vesafb. The last lines look like this (taken from dmesg of 2.6.13): have you tried booting of a kernel without vesafb? yes and no. I didn't remove the VESA VGA graphics support from the kernel. But I booted without any vga= parameter. Otherwise I'll see just a blank screen. Are there good reasons to remove VESA from kernel? The next view lines I expect from 2.6.14 are: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac) JFS: nTxBlock = 1485, nTxLock = 11882 SGI XFS with ACLs, large block numbers, no debug enabled Initializing Cryptographic API Real Time Clock Driver v1.12 Non-volatile memory driver v1.2 vesafb: framebuffer at 0xc000, mapped to 0xcc90, using 3072k, total 4096k THX, Sascha. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
