Can you reproduce this with kernel-vanilla? I'm glad you filed the report upstream as well, but they're going to need to see it reproduced without our patchset. That's good info for us as well since it tells us whether it's a problem in our patches or the mainline kernel we base them on. Well, currently I have no reliable kernel installed on that laptop. When the installer tries to reboot with the installed kernel, the boot attempt fails. The only way to make it sometimes succeed is with acpi=off, acpi=ht or pci=noacpi, but that does not garantee succesfull boot, and the rest of the installation than fails midway. The only reliable kernel I have is the one of the installation disk. Because of that, I can currently not reliably boot into a linux environment enabling me to recompile a kernel. Can you look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593325 so that I at least can compare dmesg's output between failed and successfull boot attempts. I'll try to work with the installation kernel either in rescue mode or installed on the hard disk and see what I can do. I am adding some other logs of boot attempts with various acpi-related parameters to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15665 I now have redone the installation. During the installation I added also the kernel-default package (automatically selected is the kernel-desktop one). For the automatic reboot during the installation, installer tried to restart with kernel-desktop. That kernel boot failed. I then rebooted using the kernel-default (an entry had automatically been created in grub, and is even the default one, thanks) and that kernel boot succeeded. There were some problems in the next phase of the installation, but that's another story. I more or less solved those and now have an installed 11.3 milestone 4 running with kernel-default, not with kernel-desktop. What do I miss ? How can I tell the differences between kernel-default and kernel-desktop ? any news here? I have downloaded 11.3-rc2 yesterday and updated this computer. It has until now booted each time without problem, except when I do a restart (or when the installer does a restart :() : it then blocks in startup after some 'ssb' related messages. I also checked v2.6.35-rc3 and the same happens : start is ok, restart blocks everytime after 'ssb' messages.

Sorry, wrong information : I have 11.3-rc2 installed, but run with vanilla kernel v2.6.35-rc3. If I try to use the 11.3-rc2 kernel (2.6.34-12-desktop), my laptop does not boot; it blocks after the ssb messages :( marked as duplicate of Bug 617912, that seems fixed (I have not yet verified) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 617912 *** |
