Bug#741027: installation-reports: Computer freezes/hangs during install, boot or usage.
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Every time I tried to install a new MEDION computer (MEDION MS-7857/MS-7857,
BIOS M7857W08.203 01/06/2014) it was hanging during the install or even before
during boot.
The more time I use the computer the delays or hangs are for more seconds.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
As this system is a pre-installed windows 8 (64bits) with UEFI I thought it
might be for the UEFI boot that was hanging and I followed every help available
in Web. After few days trying and I was able to complete the install passing
this parameter to the kernel during the install boot (noapic).
* What was the outcome of this action?
After removing windows 8 and the UEFI boot. It's better but the computers
stills freezes.
I see the following every time I boot:
0.938114] AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out
[ 1.049346] AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out
[ 1.049387] AMD-Vi: Lazy IO/TLB flushing enabled

[ 1.049792] [Firmware Bug]: cpu 0, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for

cpu

(MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[ 1.049876] Failed to setup IBS, -22
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The computer not to hang.
