PREFETCH window: disabled Net Recognised protocol family 2 The other lines visible on the boot screen looked unsuspicious so I DIDN't copy them. Tell me if you need more. This happens on every attempt to boot. Additional info: SUSE Linux 10.2 and also 10.2 alpha2 did install fine. -- 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 will have to dig. Andi can you help here, pls. There seem to be dozens of machines needing maxcpus=0 boot param, only this one has a lot duplicates.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206513 ------- Comment #10 from trenn@novell.com 2007-01-19 02:46 MST ------- John: You have a Pentium III built in 2000, right? Your machine should hit this line: /* All Intel BIOS since 1998 assumed APIC on. Don't include 1998 itself because we're not sure for that. */ if (vendor && !strncmp(vendor, "Intel", 5)) apic = 1; But it seems the vendor tag in dmi information does not match "Intel"? Can you please attach dmidecode output. It would also be helpful if you could attach dmesg with maxcpus=0 (this one works fine, right?). The blacklisting (auto apic/acpi off) should still be hit, but possibly PIC is setup in another way makes your machine work? I think there are more problems with APIC and SMP kernel on older machines, therefore there are so many (x86, x86_64,..) machines that seem to have (non-)APIC problems. A lot bugs that are marked as duplicates probably are not and I start loosing the overview, let's figure out one by one... -- 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.
