Bug#406809: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7: kernel hangs when acpi=off is specified
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: important
Dear kernel maintainers,
2.6.18-3-k7 hangs if 'apci=off' is specified as a boot parameter. The
hanging occurs at different stages of the boot process, e.g.:
[...]
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount...
FATAL: Error inserting fan
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko)
: No such device
FATAL: Error inserting thermal
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/the
rmal.ko): No such device
_
or
[...]
Setting console screen modes and fonts.
Setting up general console font...
or
[...]
Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...done.
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...
The issue does not occur with 2.6.17 or earlier nor with 2.6.18-3-486
nor with 2.6.18-3-amd64 (i.e. on amd64).
I'm on the follwojg hardware:
Board: ASUS A8V Deluxe
BIOS: Revision 1017
CPU: Athlon64 X2 4800+
