Problem EIP + kernel panic

Problem EIP + kernel panic

[Emmanuel Gaudin]

Hi everybody , and sorry for my english.

I am under debian sid and i have installed the kernel 2.424 . After few time i 
noticed that the new kernel-image on the debian apt tree was available. So i 
decidede to install it. (For the 2.4.24 i did with the kernel sources and 
make dep etc..) I have installed it then i reboot.
On the reboot i have a kernel panic due to a eip problem.
My mother board is a p4p800 and the kernel version i've installed is the 
2.6.2-smp. (i have a 2.6 ghz intel cpu with hyperthreading.) 

Have someone an idea? 

thanks a lot 

Manu

Try booting with kernel parameter pnpbios=off, it's a problem with the 
pnp implementation of the intel 8(6?/7)5 chipset. (a bios upgrade to P18 
didn't help for me, I don't know if recent changes in 2.6.3-... address 
this issue)

I may not be the best person to answer this, I just know this is the 
problem ;-)

Cheers

AFAIK, it is not fixed yet.

Correct. See messages with subject "2.6 kernel boot crashing" too.

I own the same motherboard and got the same problems. Doing what you 
suggest will let the problem go away.
