[Bug 593463] New: Intel 855GM fails to boot X due to kernel
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593463 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593463#c0 Summary: Intel 855GM fails to boot X due to kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 4 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lee_matheson@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102100 SUSE/3.0.15-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.15 A Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop can not boot to X with an of F3/F4 live CD boot options in 32-bit openSUSE-11.3 milestone4 live CD. It is possible to boot to run level 3. This bug report may be similar to a bug report raised on openSUSE-11.2 (passed upstream), except its symptoms are more serious in 11.3. 11.2 similar bug report is here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555619 In openSUSE-11.2 it was possible to boot with option acpi=off, or with patience boot in Safe Mode. This does not work in 11.3 milestone4. According to the bug raised on the kernel, there may be a patch, but custom compiling a kernel is beyond my expertise: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 Output of "lspci -nn" on this laptop, illustrating graphic hardware detail: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) I will understand if this bug report is closed due to the problem being upstream, but I thought important I do document the bug still existing in openSUSE 11.3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simple boot from a liveCD, any boot option. 2. 3. Actual Results: PC always fails to boot X. . Expected Results: PC should be able to boot to X. It can not with any option.

I do not know if it will help, but I've learned that the Ubuntu "community" have come up with implementating a patch for the 855GM problem here: https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix which portedly works with a 2.6.32 kernel. And a remastered Ubuntu liveCD here with the patch: http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568 ...
If thought useful, I could download the remastered Ubuntu CD and try it out, although I confess I am not a Ubuntu fan (just the opposite and very very far from it) and hence I am not particularly keen on doing this download of a Ubuntu liveCD, unless advised it would be helpful for me to try as a test.
I downloaded the iso file for the Ubuntu community CD, burned it, and then today booted my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop with the i855GM graphics. The freeze that I experienced on openSUSE-11.2 and 11.3 M4 and M6 does NOT occur with this special Ubuntu community test version. I checked the Xorg.0.log file i that Ubuntu liveCD and the "Intel" driver (version 2.11) is being used with a Ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic kernel (which I presume has been specially patched with the fix noted here https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix. There are so many various fixes around, this is a bit confusing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try the 2.6.36 kotd http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master
-or add the kernel-head repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/Kernel:...
Thankyou for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not able at this time to try the patch. This laptop currently has openSUSE-11.1 (with KDE-4.4.4) with the 2.6.27 kernel which works well, and this laptop running openSUSE is used extensively by my wife who for once in her life is happy with openSUSE. The hard drive is too small for a dual boot between different openSUSE versions, and I can not remove openSUSE-11.1 without risking the wrath of my wife. Unfortunately I can only test liveCDs with the kernels noted, and creating a liveCD with such a kernel is beyond my expertise. I note this bug is still being worked actively upstream on this thread http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 . The current most promising patch is discussed in comment#233 with reasons why it has not (yet) been submitted to Linux GIT tree. I will continue to track this, and if there is any liveCD with the noted kernels created, I will test on any such liveCDs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
