Subject: kernel 2.5.66 on Sony PCG-FX210 hangs on boot
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 10:29:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030409172903.GA1639@krypton.its.uci.edu> (raw)
Hi
I am running the 2.4 series kernels with the ACPI patches with no
problems. With 2.5.65 and 2.5.66 I decided to try out the beta
kernels. Both with and without the ACPI patch, these kernels fail to
boot on my laptop --- Sony PCG-FX210.
It is hard to report exactly what is happening. The initial messages
scroll by fine---decompressing the kernel, etc., and then I see a
message about ACPI and then I get lots and lots of scrolling numbers
in angle brackets. (Control S won't freeze the screen) I am not 100
percent sure it is ACPI that is freaking out my computer, but after
trying the kernel many times last night, I am certain the last legible
message contained ACPI in the text before the rapid number scrolling
started.
I have used user-mode linux (UML) before, and so when I get time I can
try to run the kernel in a protected area and grab a screenshot of the
initial error messages. But last time this sort of thing happened,
there was a nocorruption patch to fix things. Am I missing a patch?
Any other advice on how to collect bug reports or where the problem
might lie?
Please respond to the list, not to me personally.
Thanks,
James
