** Summary changed: - Very slow boot and/or hangs on FSC D1184 Board with 512M RAM. 256M works fine / pre Hardy worked. + Very slow boot on FSC D1184 Board. Probably broken BIOS. Fix inside.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic Board: FSC D1184 RAM: 512M Symptoms: Boot is very slow and hangs most of the time. If it boots the PS/2 Keyboard doesn't work and the system is very slow. The System boots fine with 256M RAM and the 2.6.24-19 Kernel. Gutsy and Edgy worked fine with 512M RAM. I know of several people who got the same problem on the same hardware. That rules out hardware errors. The kernel boots flawlessly with the kernel option mem=522176K. Maybe the physical memory mapping is broken? $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.24-4.6-server $ uname -a # (same error on non openvz kernel) Linux server 2.6.24-19-openvz #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 17:50:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux dmesg, dmidecode and lspci output is attached. These are the logs with the mem=522176K option, because successful boot is nearly impossible without. + + *** Update *** + The board seems to have a buggy BIOS which sets the MTRRs wrong. The addresses 1fe00000-1fef0000 are not covered in /proc/mtrr. The kernel needs the boot option mem=510M, so that the uncached 960K don't get used. The keyboard worked after I added the bootoption i8042_nopnp. + + The Fedora 9 Kernel gives an error message and corrects the usable + memory ranges automatically. -- Very slow boot on FSC D1184 Board.
