kernel panic with notebook Amilo Xa 2528 P5811 kernel 2.6.24

Thanks Benje. I'm reassigning to the kernel team (I think you have already been in contact with Amit already). Thanks.

 Hello, with chanhging two options in the ubuntu-2.6.24-19-generic kernel

CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ is not set

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=m

and blacklist pata_amd

the DVD works, using Hardy.

the kernel is running with no option in menu.lst

we made a 32 rt kernel , headers and alsa package
you can find it at the adress http://cereli.org/sites/cereli/fichier/distrib/ubuntu/noyau/
this could be long to download (personnal connection)
hope this will help you there the .config and the patch file

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I've tried 2.6.27 kernel, it freeze at 1s with following message:
[quote]clocksource tsc unstable (delta=-266260856ns)[/quote]

with acpi=off, I get a kernel panic after 10s

and with acpi=off noapic, the system boots but freezes just after gnome is loaded

with acpi=off noapic pci=routeirq I get the following dmesg

I've blacklisted pata_amd and used the same kernel options to make the attached dmesg

See the bug on :

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

According to the upstream bug this is fixed by the upstream commit below. This commit appeared in v2.6.28 and therefore should be in the current Jaunty kernels already:

    amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllers

    It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
    can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
    is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this:

    * Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.

    * Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
      driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.

    * Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.

    This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
    config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
    available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).

    [ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
      and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]

    Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the proble
