[Bug 450150] New: kernel-ps3 hangs at illegal instruction
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450150 Summary: kernel-ps3 hangs at illegal instruction Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: sassmann@novell.com ReportedBy: sassmann@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: power-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Development kernel-ps3 kills init because of an illegal instruction early during boot. RPC:Registered udp transport module. RPC:Registered tcp transport module. Freeing unused kernel memory: 176k freed init has generated signal 4 but has no handler for it Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! The reason for this is that the kernel tries to execute an ALTIVEC instruction but the config has not set CONFIG_ALTIVEC. Not sure why the kernel tries to execute ALTIVEC instructions at this point. Enabling ALTIVEC in config file. -- 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.

Reducing severity. Still need to find the reason why having ALTIVEC support disabled causes SIGILL. -- 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.

The initrd for the PS3 bootloader is partially build from the build host, thus if the buildhost has ALTIVEC support the binaries might contain ALTIVEC instructions which then cause a SIGILL if ALTIVEC is disabled. -- 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.
