[Bug 259816] New: Computers hang randomly during booting openSUSE 10.2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259816 Summary: Computers hang randomly during booting openSUSE 10.2 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: teuniz@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de openSUSE 10.2 hangs randomly during booting at two different computers from different brands and with different motherboards and with different chipsets. Symptom: During booting the computers hangs, the last message on the screen is random, one time it's "ACPI: PCI Interrupt blahblah...", another time it's DMA R/W blahblah..." and another time it's USB blahblah...". Other times the computer boots normal. First I thought it had something to do with an incompatibility with my motherboard/chipset. Then I installed openSUSE 10.2 on another computer and there I have the same symptoms. The comp randomly hangs during booting, no error-message, no kernelpanic, nothing. The only remedy is to switch off the comp and restart. One computer has an Asus motherboard with a VIA-chipset and an P4 CPU. The other computer is a Dell Optiplex GX280 (Intell P4 with Intell chipset). After a successfull boot, both computers are very stable. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I placed this question also on a SuSE forum and at least one other is experiencing the same with SuSE 10.2. I'm sure now it's a kernel-bug.

I added this parameter to the bootoptions in Grub via Yast. I will let you know if this helps.

So, this option didn't solve the problem. By the way, somebody changed status to "NEEDINFO". What more info is needed?

I did the overnight memtest on both computers, no errors found. I updated the bios of the Dell Optiplex GX280 from A00 to A08. I tried to update the bios of the Asus and destroyed it... :-( I'm waiting for a new bioschip. I'll let you know how it goes.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259816 ------- Comment #10 from teuniz@gmail.com 2007-04-19 01:27 MST ------- Just after I wrote my former message, I rebooted the Dell GX280 and it hangs again. So it seems that at least in my case the bios-update didn't make any difference. I have this feeling that the kerneloption "pci=routeirq" makes it happen less but it's hard to say because it happens completely random and I'm not rebooting the comp several times a day (except when I need windows). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
