lsmod
Not sure why, but despite the textmode=1 the graphical interface is still loaded. :/ noapic seems to help. another timer issue? Please attach the contents of /proc/interrupts, preferably with and without the noapic command line option (if possible). Created attachment 363782 [details]
APIC + NOAPIC interrupts
Booting with apic was difficult. At some point (Starting udev) it choked. Surprisingly, pressing the ACPI power button unchoked it.
During network activity (Loading Installation System (X/6)) I had to press any key on the keyboard multiple times to unchoke it.
It looks like the kernel has general problems with setting up interrupts on your machine. Do these problems continue after the installation? Hi Rafael, Apologies for not replying earlier, there was a NEEDINFO missing. Just installed and booted today's factory and the problem seems to be fixed. |
Created attachment 362919 [details] lspci User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SUSE/3.5.9-0.1 Firefox/3.5.9 This is going to be a weird one. During a network installation on HP Compaq 6005 SFF desktop the installation process intermittently stops and only resumes after a key is pressed on the usb keyboard. I've noticed that it happens only during network activity (loading initial stages and package installation). This particular desktop has HPET enabled, but I had to blacklist the hpet module to get it to get past Loading drivers stage. On average, during a standard KDE desktop install, the installation needs to be prodded about 10-15 times. Obviously an unattended install becomes somewhat problematic. Reproducible: Always
