[Bug 430432] New: Plugging HDMI crashes system (patch exists)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430432 Summary: Plugging HDMI crashes system (patch exists) Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zajec5@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- There is regression bug in kernel 2.6.27(-rcX) that causes system crash after plugging in HDMI cable in Sony VAIO FW*. This is because AMI BIOS touches low 64k memory which is also used by system. Issue was reported as bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11313 and recognised as duplicate of: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 There exists ready, confirmed to work patch for kernel that reserves first 64k of memory in case of AMI and Phoenix BIOSes. Can be found in tip git tree. As this patch won't be added to 2.6.27 this means openSUSE 11.1 will be affected. I wonder if we could add this patch to kernel package in 11.1? -- 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.
