https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799475 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799475#c3 --- Comment #3 from Anton Samsonov 2013-01-20 17:00:57 UTC --- There has been a development. Today it didn't boot even with “nohz=off highres=off” options, resulting in 1 crash report followed by deep freeze (see trace03.png in new attachments). Although I could not scroll back to see the first lines, this looked very similar to the situation I was experiencing originally until applying updates yesterday, though the numbers after function names were different from the very first text transcript posted here. The other difference was the falling into deep freeze instead of entering single-user mode. I retried just for the case to check whether I could have misspelled the options. The outcome was a new story: after quickly displaying a couple of crash reports, it stuck for a while with the message about “fsck /boot” (trace04.png), then after 30 seconds it displayed another crash report, and after 23 more seconds it ultimately halted on watchdog timer (trace05.png). The most strange thing here is that fsck said that /boot (labeled “LinuxBoot”) partition had 130'560 files, while in reality it has 361 files and 11 folders. I must also add that in previous tryouts, when a single-user prompt was available but incapable to shutdown, and I used REISUB magic to force rebooting, there were new messages about fsck and mount after sending SIGTERM, as well as then after SIGKILL. Booting with the complete set of failsafe options still worked though, so I then started to check other configurations. Trying to boot with “powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1” resulted in yet unseen crash referring to CPU cache tuning, but still caused by some ext4 handling routines (see trace06.png). Was finally able to boot with

apm=off edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset or something like this, don't remember exactly which one of “edd” or “nomodeset” was excluded.

At this moment I could start to consider the possibility of a real hardware failure, if only openSUSE was the only one operating system on this computer. But my primary OS is Windows 7, and it boots just fine and [almost] never screws the fake-RAID on shutdown, and runs demanding modern videogames, as well as CPU-, GPU- and RAM-intensive BOINC computations that are cross-validated against other nodes. Of course, it's not a strong proof, but I'm more inclined towards a software bug, taking into account that the situation worsened each time after updating openSUSE. -- 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.
