| |
Hi,
When booting a 2.4.9-ac16 kernel on my Sony Vaio C1VE laptop the boot process hangs with something like: PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f8120 PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry ay f0000:b25f, dseg at 400 general protection fault: 0000 ... Code: Bad EIP value
Adding nobiospnp to the kernel boot line solves the problem. The last -ac kernel I tried (2.4.9-ac10) does not need exhibit this problem.
Since this machine's BIOS is crap anyway (almost entirely ACPI - APM suspend doesn't work etc), is it worth investigating this issue or should I blame the BIOS structures once again ?
Thanks,
Stelian. -- Stelian Pop <stelian.pop@fr.alcove.com> |---------------- Free Software Engineer -----------------| | Alcôve - http://www.alcove.com - Tel: +33 1 49 22 68 00 | |------------- Alcôve, liberating software ---------------| - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
