[Bug 295091] Re: kernel crashes at boot on a dell inspiron 531.

2009-06-10 Thread gbon
@Martin

I tried the hardy-proposed kernel on top of my intrepid installation.

The machine boots, but the resulting (hybrid) system has poor graphics
resolution and in general is not very usable.  Probably, there are
incompatibilities between the 2.6.24 kernel and the rest of the system
(compiled against a later kernel).

I suggest that Arv3n tries the proposed kernel on his hardy installation
and reports the results.

I've no idea what gdebi is.  you can just
sudo dpkg -i andys_kernel.deb

@Arv3n

what kernel are you running, exactly?  can you send the output of 
cat /proc/version, please?

anyway, I suggest that you try the latest kernel from Andy.  it's at 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp295091-hardy/linux-image-2.6.24-24-generic_2.6.24-24.51~lp295091apw1_i386.deb

@andy

here are the info you requested, relative to 2.6.24-19 (last good for
hardy), 2.6.24-24 (your latest build) and 2.6.27-11 (intrepid current).

Your analysis is very accurate.  I'm sorry for not noticing the missing
core in the 2.4.24-19 kernel.  that would have made things much easier.

best regards

@Arv3n 
in fact it works on my hw too.  unfortunately disabling acpi has unpleasant 
side effects, e.g. no cpufreq support.  I just prefer to run Intrepid.

@Andy Whitcroft. 
your kernel pauses twice around the sysfs_create_link() call, as you can see in 
the photos.

Hi Andy,

I'll try your kernel in the next few days.

In the meantime, I've been wondering about the timestamps in the
2.6.24-23 kernel output: the kernel stops after a few seconds, but the
timestamp reads 180: does that mean 3 minutes?  If this is the case, the
kernel timer is off by a factor ten w.r.t. real time.  Is it possible
that 2.6.24-23 fails to configure some hw timer?  Perhaps wrong timings
can explain problems in thread synchronization and spurious timeouts
during device probes.

Is there anything I can do try other time sources or check that the
source is working correctly?

hi Stefan,

I'm not sure about which kernel you mentioned. I tried
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-
image-2.6.24-23-generic_2.6.24-23.46_i386.deb with no luck: see the
attached photos.

sorry.

 backtrace is the same or different.
 

Hi Stefan,
in fact, I've followed Leann's suggestion to try Intrepid Ibex; and
since it worked flawlessly, I upgraded to 8.10.  
However, if the upcoming 2.6.24-23.x kernel can be installed on Ibex
(dependency-wise), I will be glad to try it out, in a week or two.

Hi Leann.

Please find in attachment a sequence of snapshots taken during the boot
process.  Sorry for the bad quality.

8.10 works perfectly on the inspiron 531.  The only missing bit is the
LTS flag...

[Bug 295091] [NEW] kernel crashes at boot on a dell inspiron 531.

2008-11-07 Thread gbon
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic

I've been using ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit) on a dell inspiron 531 for a while.

All was fine with kernels up to 2.6.24-19, but since the upgrade to 2.6.24-21, 
the machine crashes
at every boot.  The problem persists even after several minor upgrades in the 
2.6.24-21.x series.
