[opensuse-factory] Hang Following Spurious Intel 965G Chipset Detection (more / new details)
Hi, Perhaps I should try sending this message here. It was originally posted on OpenSUSE@OpenSUSE.org. -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- During the first boot following the initial phase of installation (package selection and installation) start-up stalled immediately after printing these lines: -==- Starting udevd Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 965G Chipset. -==- At this point, the system is for all purposes hung and intert. I cannot switch virtual terminal screens, e.g. Pressing CAPS LOCK key does not toggle the state of the keyboards caps-lock indicator. No keystrokes are echoed, either plain or control, including CTRL-C and CTRL-D. CTRL-ALT-DEL has no effect. I has been in this state for many hours now. This is an ASUS P5B and it has no on-board or on-chip graphics. Specifically, the board has an Intel P965, not a G965 chipset. I have an nVidia card installed. This did not happen with any of the pre-release versions of 10.2 from alpha5 through RC1. What went wrong and how to I solve it?

"Too?" It happened _only_ on final.

Oh, joy. Now what?

How will that help me get back a formerly functioning system? Why the hell do you make last-minute changes? Every software engineer alive who's been doing development more than a couple of years knows it's asking for trouble.

To fix other bugs... We did release a updated kernel package via online update during betatesting which we hoped would be widely tested. Apparently your case was not found.

If the problem is in the kernel from the install media, before first boot, there isn't much that can be done except a new GM, isn't? He can't run anything. No rescue, no boot, no YOU, nothing. Perhaps new kernel downloaded in mid-install. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Of course you end up with less usable memory but you can recompile the kernel without any of the agpgart stuff.
I can live with that for a while, until a proper kernel is released, but I do have 4 GB of RAM, and naturally, I'd like to be able to use it all. Is there a kernel command-line (boot-time) option that will have the same effect as compiling a kernel without the agpgart code?

Hi, Bernhard Walle supplied the optimal work-around (that preserves the ability to access physical RAM beyond 3GB): On Friday 08 December 2006 08:01, Randall R Schulz wrote:

You mean just prevent the modules from being loaded automatically? Yes, of course, just enter
blacklist intel_agp
in /etc/modprobe.conf.local file. And any other module you want to supress from loading.

I have confirmed that this prevents the hang during-startup and seems to allow normal operation of my ASUS P5B Deluxe with 4GB of RAM. Thanks again, Bernhard.
