Bug Description

After a dist-upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, the boot stopped after a few seconds with the message:
"kernel panic not syncing: attempted to kill init"
a little further to the top, there was the string: acpi_hw_low_level_read

Switching to 2.6.15 "fixed" the problem, but no acpi. I googled around a bit, tried acpi=off (a suggested solution somewhere) but it didn't work. I was happy enough with this for about a week, until today my eyes just hurt too much because I couldn't dim my TFT light. ;-)
I went googling again, and found acpi=force... that was something I saw in the boot logs in older kernels, but it was never needed. I tried it, and... even kernel 2.6.17 worked!

Summary: kernel 2.6.17 crashes when acpi is not used, 2.6.15 works without acpi, and 2.6.17 works fine with acpi=force.

It would be nice if this acpi=force could somehow be automatically turned on for Acer Aspire 1315 laptops or similar, would save a lot of headaches.

Today I accidentally booted 2.6.15-25, since it was still my default. It hung somewhere after the fsck (can't see where exactly, since on-screen logging verbosity has decreased a lot). Booting into 2.6.17 did also show the fsck screen for a short time, then going to X. So: acpi=force makes 2.6.15-25 fail to boot...

This makes it somewhat more complicated:
2.6.17 -> crash
2.6.15 -> boot (without acpi features)
2.6.17 acpi=force -> boot
2.6.15 acpi=force -> hang

2.6.x-pre-15 -> boot, with acpi features, without the need for acpi=force.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
0. Please update you BIOS.
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
4. Please run the command "sudo dmidecode > dmidecode.log" and attach the resulting file "dmidecode.log" to this bug report.

Pliss attach files, copy message in comment is dificulty read.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available here: <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems> Thanks!

I can confirm the same symptoms as the original post, but on a desktop machine with the VIA KT400/KT600 chipset.

2.6.15 (Edgy) worked fine.
2.6.17 (Edgy) required the acpi=force option.

Thanks for the reply. I did not yet update my bios, didn't yet find the time (and a floppy well enough) to do it. It remains on my todo list, but yesterday I thought that if Ubuntu is designed to run out-of-the-box it shouldn't crash on a kernel dump anyways, so I did steps 1-4 today. I will update my bios soon, so if this is not helpful enough, you can just leave it for now.

It boots fine again with kernel 2.6.20-16 (latest Feisty) without the acpi=force option. ACPI doesn't work then, however, but it doesn't hard-crash anymore on startup :-)
Still didn't do a BIOS-update btw... (need to find a floppy, some dos image, put it on, etc...)

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Hmm, I see that I didn't update in a while. In the meantime I did upgrade my BIOS, which (of course) fixed the problem because the BIOS age was now new enough. This also means that I cannot test anymore. I suggest closing this bug - the laptop age reaches end-of-life for most users, it's now not possible to reproduce nicely, and if someone else thinks it's still a problem it'll probably be mentioned.

Thanks for the support.
