[Bug 299891] New: Crash in early stage install
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299891 Summary: Crash in early stage install Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: j.reitsma@hccnet.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer I try to install 10.3beta1 on a dual opteron system presently running 10.3alpha7. When booting from the burned DVD, the Welcome splash screen appears, and after that the boot menu screen. When I choose to install the beta-release, (and press Esc to see the messages on the console), the install procedure gets as far as this: -------------------------------------------------------------- Loading basic drivers.........................OK Starting hardware detection ...........OK (If...................brokenmodules=driver_name) --------------------------------------------------------------- and after that, the system is powered off instantaneously mostly, or sometimes hangs after the messages ---------------------------------------------------------------- Micro Star International CK804 IDE drivers pata, amd74xx, generic loading pata ---------------------------------------------------------------- When I choose Boot from harddisk, 10.3alpha7 boots OK. When I choose to do a memory test, the test is done OK When I choose to do a firmware test, the system hangs as stated before. System is MSI K8N Master2FAR, two single core opterons, 2 GB mem, 200 GB Maxtor IDE disk, Matrox Parhelia graphics card, Hauppauge WinTV 150 tv-card, Plextor PX 740A dvd writer. Checksum of DVD-download is OK, I burned de DVD twice, last time on 10.2 OS and on lowest speed. Same result.

Adrian also noted sudden power offs and interestingly also has a matrox graphics card. They seem to dislike our X server or something.
This is a Matrox Parhelia, which is not supported by the mga driver. So it's very unlikely that it is related to the graphics drver. With fbdev driver in use it would probably happen with any other graphics card. -- 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.
Funny thing is, now I have 10.3beta3 installed, I don't have to give acpi=off when booting the installed system - it runs fine... Ok, then I close this one fixed, please reopen if you should see further

Totally OT Yeah, very Off-Topic. Better open another bug report if this should get addressed.

Loading CPUFreq modules Could that give a clue maybe? Definetly. I could have seen this before, but was confused by the disk related duplicates and by the fact that Tejun was assigned to this one ->taking over. Still not sure whether it's cpufreq, possibly other ACPI accesses.
Can you try to boot with CPUFREQ=off boot parameter. If this does not work it's probably some other ACPI module. If this works, do: - rmmod battery - rmmod thermal - echo 0x21F >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level Do (always wait some secs, to be sure the done step is not the offender): - modprobe processor - modprobe powernow-k8 - modprobe cpufreq_ondemand - echo ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor Please extract the logged messages in /var/log/messages by time/date after machine hang and got rebooted and attach them. -- 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.

sbin/update-bootloader is not found -> strange, works here. AFAIK there has still work been done in this package.
powersave -c liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply What the... You can test whether this directory exists instead: ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq If it exists you can watch the frequencies switching with: watch -n1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
Logical, because CPUFREQ is set off, I think? Be sure CPUFREQ=off is not passed. At runtime you can see the boot parameters here: cat /proc/cmdline you can modify them in /boot/grub/menu.lst.

FATAL: Error inserting processor (/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-16-default/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko): No such device
powernow-k8 should also not load and cpufreq should be disabled anyway, I wonder why it boots with CPUFREQ=no, but not without. Can you try things from comment #38 (with CPUFREQ=no): Copy this code into a file and do a chmod 755 on the file and execute it (hope I got the filenames correctly now: --------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash logger XXXXXXXXXXX echo 0x21F >/sys/modules/acpi/parameters/debug_level modprobe processor echo 0x3 >/sys/modules/acpi/parameters/debug_level logger YYYYYYYYYYYY --------------------------------------- Can you attach the output of /var/log/messages between XXXXXXXX and YYYYYYY, pls. -- 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.

Normally this should work: set CPUFREQ_ENABLED="userspace" in /etc/sysconfig/
It has to be CPUFREQ_CONTROL="userspace" in /etc/sysconfig/cpufreq -- 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.

I let two machines run over night to hit the deadlock case (the one was the machine which I thought froze) -> no freeze Those are still happily rebooting. Maybe this was a false alarm...
Here again the board: MSI K8N Master2FAR Someone should tell MSI about this issue. Jogchum, you may want to monitor the support sites of MSI and look out for a possibly upcoming BIOS. -- 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.
