Just try it.  I'am running 3.6.30 kernels on 11.1 for some time now without problems.  Most error messages are caused by a configuration change. The driver is no longer build as module but compiled into the kernel.

I'm using this kernel on openSUSE 11.1 too but have a problem, it won't boot until I disable acpi module to be looded at grub menu (acpi=off).

The boot log looks like this:

[    10.361694] acer-wmi : Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras [     10.373790] Kernel Panic - not syncing: stack-protector: kernel stack is corrupted in: 4845ca0e

...bla bla bla

[     10.623049]  [cffffe424] 0xffffe424 <- #at this line, kernel booting stopped.

Notes:

...

uname -r 2.6.30.2-4-default

but has different kernel-source version as in "Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory" repository:

ls -l /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2009-07-26 15:51 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.30.2-6

rpm -qa | grep kernel-source kernel-source-2.6.30.2-6.1

My box is Acer Aspire 5620: http://www1.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Acer-ACER-AS5622WLMI-050

Should I file the bug? Because it happened similar when I tried to install openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 3-Live CD KDE4 on the same machine (stopped booting with the same error boot log, and could not reach GUI even it booted with acpi=off enabled). Or I should do some more workaround?

Btw, I'm new here, and glad to discuss with many experts of my favorite Linux distribution.

TIA.

Hi,

Dont need, there is 2 bug reports open 2 months ago with similar errors:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508571

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508351

This problem is due to a BIOS bug.  Acer has said they will provide a new BIOS to fix the issue, so please upgrade.

Or you can blacklist the acer-wmi kernel module, which should solve the issue as well.

thanks,

greg k-h

Thanks Greg, it solved. I hope the Acer BIOS update will not take any longer to wait :) Regards, Andi S. -- AndiSugandi™ is andi.opensuse-id.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, ideally we could fix the problem in the kernel driver as well, we shouldn't crash just because the BIOS engineers can't get their act together...

Can someone provide the full trace of the oops that happens here?

I'm new in bug-reporting/developing the kernel side, how to report 'the full tracei above so i can help this issue solved? TIA.

Check http://bugs.opensuse.org for such cases, it points to kernel-specific information,
