When booting 2.6.27.12-HEAD_20090122183653_0d7eb945-default x86_64 on my system the system freezes immediately with black screen. With both normal and safe settings. Nothing on the screen, nothing in the logs. 2.6.27.12- HEAD_20090120200141_5646759d works fine on that system. How to get useful information for a bug report in that case ?
Do you know if any earlier version of the available KOTD rpms is working for you? This would be helpful information .. since this would bring it down to hopefully only few changes which potential caused the regression.
As I said : the previous version 2.6.27.12- HEAD_20090120200141_5646759d works fine
Wild guess - add to the kernel command-line "nohpet". Not quite sure if the highres=off in the failsafe already disables hpet. But there is also some hpet related patch between the two version - maybe worth a try.
I think you are right, the hpet change causes the trouble. With disabled splash screen I see now messages from hpet: hpet: increasing min_delta_ns to
nsec The message is repeated after some other messages and the number becomes higher and higher with every repetition. Jeff, instead of bisecting, could you provide a kernel with hpet change backed out ? Or do the hpet messages allready prove that the hpet change is the cuplrit ?
Did you try if "nohpet" on the command line help? I have following changes in mind, which were between 5646759d...0d7eb945: 1c94d71a9bd77342bda0b3c5f51a08acd15a1473 - patches.arch/x86_64-hpet-64bit- timer.patch: allow 64-bit mode for HPET Timer0 (bnc#456700).
