Public bug reported:
I started having kernel oopses, and can't use this machine since they
started. The oopses happen even in the Hardy LiveCD and LiveDVD I have,
similar to what's mentioned in Bug #154591. It is reproducible in every
boot.
This machine has Hardy 8.04.2 (my main OS), Debian sarge (with kernel
2.6.18 from backports) and Windows XP. Both Hardy and Debian use LVM,
each in it's own VG.
The problem started shortly after I added an extra HD, and extended my
home LV with it. I found out about the bug #154591 while trying to debug
why the live CD also didn't work. The proposed workaround (add boot
parameter all_generic_ide boot option) didn't work, both with the
optical media, and the stock kernel.
I don't think it's a hardware conflict issue, since I was able to get
all the LVM process working without any hint of a problem. It all
started about a week of continual use. After a few days trying by myself
and googling around, I cant discard anything right now.
Interesting facts:
1- I checked the memory with memtest.
2- I can see no hardware problem whatsoever using Windows, either with audio,
nvidia video, bluetooth mouse, etc.
2'- I didn't try removing the new HD to see if optical media will start working
again.
3- I can boot Hardy with the 2.6.18 debian kernel without oopses, but the
oopses also appear in Debian.
4- I tried reverting to the previous -23 kernel I was using before the security
update (2.6.24-23.46), but got similar results, so it shouldn't also be a
regression in that package.
5- /var doesn't get mounted
6- Booting 2.6.24-23, during the oops madness, the root isn't remounted rw, so
most services fail.
>From 5 and 6, syslog doesn't get to log to /var/log, and tries to log to
a minimal /var/* structure created in the / mountpoint (created not sure
when or why). I'll attach both kern.log files, the one in the proper
/var filesystem, and the minimal /var tree.
Please indicate what more information I can give in order to help solve
this.
