[Bug 259721] New: SuSE 10.2 freezes unless NOAPIC added as kernel option at bootup

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259721 Summary: SuSE 10.2 freezes unless NOAPIC added as kernel option at bootup Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: heseltine@attglobal.net QAContact: siegfried.olschner@novell.com Machine: IBM Thinkcentre model S50 8086-36U. Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz (1MB), 800MHz FSB, 1GB ram, 160GB 7200RPM IDE HDD, PCI Ultra Small Form Factor (1x2), Intel Extreme Graphics 2, 24x CD-ROM, Intel Gigabit Ethernet. Connected to Starview KVM switch model SV231USB. USB keyboard; USB mouse ps/2 backup mouse Running SuSE Linux v. 10.2. Clean install with update. Default settings apart from software - KDE desktop added. NEC Multisync E750 running at 1600 x 1024 full colour, 70 hz. PROBLEM: System freezes during inactivity (overnight) after monitor, USB mouse, and USB keyboard are disconnected via KVM switch. SOLUTION: Adding "noapic" to kernel option line at boot selector start up window seems to correct the fault. No further freezes are seen to occur up to a week later. REMARKS: System installs without incident. Programmes work. However, when switched out to 2nd system using KVM switch for a period of time (overnight), and then switched back in the morning, the USB keyboard and USB mouse are not activated. However, system awakes on use of backup ps/2 mouse. The system then freezes at next command (say hovering over clock, or clicking on 'start button'). The ps/2 mouse cursor continues to work. When the K Menu button is initially clicked there is a response but the system then hangs, leaving the menu open. A subsequent click on a sub menu does not respond or may respond after a very long time. However, no subsequent clicks work. For example, clicking initially on the 'start' button brings up its menu but then clicking on shutdown causes no response. Hard boot then required. Interestingly, moving the pointer to the frozen but open K menu changes the pointer to the rotating clock type. Its rotating hand does not advance. However clicking the ps/2 mouse quickly a number of times sometimes advances the hand on the waiting cursor clock. I have not been successful at creating this freezing problem logging into console mode. However, I have not tried logging into console mode long enough to determine if the same problem arises. If I can recreate the problem in console mode, I will add a further note. I could not attach the var/log/messages file or the boot.msg file as they were too long. Thank you for reading this report.
