Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kairo@kairo.at QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9pre) Gecko/20100222 Lightning/1.0b2pre SeaMonkey/2.0.3pre When installing any kernel on my desktop machine that was compiled after we introduced gcc 4.5 (around February 18-20), I run into a kernel panic right when the system tries to boot the kernel. I currently have this system running with an older kernel and missed to take a pic of the panic screen, but it says "kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted ti kill init!" and something with "comm: swapper" in the line before, as well as a Tainted info with G and D flags, which I guess are standard with every openSUSE kernel. My machine is a Core2 (Conroe) system with an ASUS P5B main board, an NVidia card and a root partition that is still on reiserfs for hysteric reasons. I tested with kernel-desktop-2.6.33-3.3.i586.rpm, kernel-default with the same version (bot from plain Factory repo), and with kernel-pae (some 2.6.33-rc8 version) from Kernel:HEAD, all running into that issue, no matter if the related drm-all-kmp-* package from home:jobermayer is installed or not (I'm trying those to get nouveau graphics). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel from after the switch to gcc 4.5 2. Reboot Actual Results: kernel panic right on boot Expected Results: start up the system Thankfully I found kernel-default-2.6.33-3.1.i586.rpm compiled on Feb 13 still in the Factory repo, this one runs well with or without the DRM module for nouveau installed. With the bad kernels, I need to remove the vga= parameter from the boot line to even be able to see the panic output, if I leave it in there, I just get a black screen. As the 2.6.33-3.1 and 2.6.33-3.3 are both -rc7 kernels that are not much apart, but the switch from gcc 4.4 to 4.5 was probably in between, I feel like that could be the actual dealbreaker here - possibly with reiserfs, but maybe some other driver. With the slightly older kernel, the whole system runs completely fine, it's only that one package I changed to get it up and running. -- 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.
