SubjectISSUE: 2.1.65 boot hangs at "Booting processor 1"
From
Date
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.os.linux.development.system as well.

NOTE: This is a bug report for 2.1.65! However, some of the items of
information asked for can only be obtained from 2.0.31 since 2.1.65
doesn't boot far enough to obtain it.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:

Kernel 2.1.65 boot hangs at "Booting processor 1 eip 2000"

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

During boot, I get the following:

Calibrating APIC timer...
CPU 166 MHz
APIC bus 0.00 MHz
Booting processor 1 eip 2000

At that point, at "booting processor", it locked hard. Ctrl-Alt-Del
would not rescue it.

My system boots fine under 2.0.31.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

kernel, boot, lock

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

2.1.65 -- does not boot far enough to access proc

[5.] Output of Oops.. message with symbolic information resolved
(see Kernel Mailing List FAQ, Section 1.5):

n/a

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)

n/a

[7.] Environment

Brief configuration, ask if you need more detail:
* Tyan motherboard
* Intel Pentium 166, non-MMX
* Award BIOS
* 64 MB RAM
* Cards: Sound Blaster AWE32, Symbios 53c875 SCSI, Adaptec AHA152x
SCSI, Linksys PCI NE2000 card (yes, this is correct), ATI
3D Pro Turbo PC2TV 8MB video.
* Linux boots from a Seagate Cheetah 4.5 GB ultra-wide SCSI hard
drive hooked up to the Symbios controller. (Actually, LILO
loads from the IDE drive, but the kernel and entire OS are on
the SCSI drive.)

If you need my .config or any other information, please ask.

[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)

ver_linux output from my 2.0.31 kernel is below. 2.1.65 doesn't boot
far enough to get ver_linux output. Note that the Linux C library
field and the Net-tools field look suspicious. I have GNU LIBC
2.0.5c, with Debian's fixes.

garfield ~$ ./ver_linux
-- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or looks
-- unusual then possibly you have very old versions)
Linux garfield 2.0.31 #1 Sat Nov 15 20:22:45 CST 1997 i586 unknown
Kernel modules found
Gnu C 2.7.2.3
Binutils 2.8.1
Linux C Library 0.5.so
Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.6
Linux C++ Library 2.7.2
Procps 1.12
Mount 2.7f
Net-tools (Peter
Kbd 0.94
Sh-utils 1.16

[7.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):

Again, from 2.0.31:

garfield ~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu : 586
model : Pentium 75+
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : 12
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid : yes
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8

[7.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules):

n/a, can't boot far enough

[7.4.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi):

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST34501W Rev: 0017
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: iomega Model: jaz 1GB Rev: J.83
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: CD-Writer 6020 Rev: 1.07
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

[7.5.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):

All 2.0.x kernels I've tried boot fine. This is the first 2.1.x
kernel I've tried.

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
