[Bug 31882] New: Fatal ACPI error when booting with HD5970x2 crossfire configuration
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31882 Summary: Fatal ACPI error when booting with HD5970x2 crossfire configuration Product: xorg Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/radeonhd AssignedTo: eich@pdx.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: earthforce_1@yahoo.com QAContact: xorg-team@lists.x.org This was filed to the ubuntu mailing list as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/678148 and I was requested to file it here. I freshly installed stock Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 build on a GA-X58A-UD7 motherboard and two HD5970 GPUs in the recommended slots, with the crossfire adapter. (The motherboard is advertised as having crossfire support). When I boot I will get an immediate black or purple screen hang unless I enable nomodeset in the grub command line. This is not necessary with a single GPU, and everything works fine. Even with the nomodeset option, the boot sequence hard hangs with Radeon ACPI access error. Interestingly enough, this also happens when I try to boot the rescue kernel that does not use X. I also have to pause the live install CD to select nomodeset or it will also hang. The install works correctly when one of the GPUs are removed. -------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

The snapshot you are seeing is taken *after* I removed the second GPU and installed fglrx. I couldn't get the system to boot at all after a fresh install with the radeon drivers with two GPUs present in the system, even without starting X. It hangs on boot. I *do* want to use the closed source drivers, I *wish* I could get the same performance out of the the radeon drivers or I would be using them. Performance is the reason why I was trying out a crossfire configuration. Question: Why do I need the nomodeset grub option for the two GPU configuration? That suggests to me that even on boot the GPU is being misconfigured. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
