Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7-smp
Severity: important
I installed Etch on my HP Pavilion DV6119US, which uses a Turion X2 TL-50
dual-core processor. After the install completed, I tried to boot off the
Linux partition, but received this message:
Checking TSC synchronization across 2 CPUs
And then nothing. Solid freeze requiring power-off to restart. Once in six
attempts at booting, after the above line I got:
CPU#0 had 2672658 usecs, TSC skew, fixed it up
And THEN a solid freeze.
The system works flawlessly under Windows Media Center Edition and when
booted from Knoppix CD. I swapped RAM without changing anything.
Any suggestions?
Note that I've already reported this problem as bug#392895 (against the
installer). Thinking about it, I actually suspect it's a kernel problem,
not an installer problem. If you concur, you can (I believe) reassign
392895 as a dupe of this one.
Thank you for all your work on making Debian what it is.
