2.6.35.7 kernel problem
1 Attachment(s)
The new 2.6.35.7 kernel fails to boot on my Lenovo laptop. I had previously compiled a 2.6.35 kernel with a couple of different .config files and never had it boot properly. The failure occurs very quickly and I am including the final screenshot in case that helps.

OK, adding "acpi=off" resolves this issue (which didn't occur with previous kernels). Has anyone else experienced this?

My T61 works fine with the 2.6.35.7 kernel from current.

Weird, it certainly mentions acpi in that error output, so it may be that.
Here's one thing I noticed: I upgraded from an earlier 2.6.35.x (maybe 4 or 5) to 2.6.35.7, but solved a problem instead of caused one. I used to be unable to shutdown the machine properly, it would just hang at "Power Off" and I had to push the power button to shut it down. Now with the latest kernel, this problem is solved. They must have changed some acpi code. |
Thanks for the reports. I'm still curious if anyone else comes across the same problem as me.

EDIT: In my case it was a blank screen somewhere after 'going multiuser', before the login prompt. |
the same on my toshiba L650
Also on my new toshiba L650 I have this problem.
Both in installation and, then, in normal grub boot I must give "acpi=off" I have installed Slackware64 current (2010 11 02, kernel 2.6.35.7), w Alien multilib pkgs. hw: CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 330 @ 2.13GHz 4096MB RAM 640GB HD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 v. 8.712.2.1000 1366 x 768 Conexant Audio Driver For AMD HDMI Codec v. 4.98.26.0 Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD v. 4.119.0.61 Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC Every thing is OK!, but not the shutdown, I have to switch the power button after the shutdown procedure to get a real power-off. May be there are also some temperature control issues, I don't know this matter, it seems to me the fans work in the same way of windows 7 Do you know how to solve this problems? recompiling the kernel?

I had a similar problems too, and as far as I know it's due to the crappy BIOS concerning poor/non existing ACPI options in it and some kernel bugs regarding ACPI.
I managed to solve my troubles with appending to lilo.conf "noapic nolapic acpi=ht" which disables acpi but leaves your hyperthreading on. Since that workaround I didn't experience random freezes or crashes, both cores work and sleep/hibernate seem unaffected. In order to test it, open /etc/lilo.conf and make your first uncommented line to look like this: append=" vt.default_utf8=0 noapic lapic acpi=ht Save lilo.conf and rerun lilo. Try it, maybe it will help. GL. |
