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:
