Hi all, I tried increasing the boot_delay parameter first at 3000 and going beyond. What is happening that I don't get to the kernel panic screen and get shown a blank screen. Have no idea why it's doing that.
This is some more info. I was able to garner from subsequent tries with boots. I am not sharing the numbering as they are all different but just attempting to get what happens so with people's help can get a fuller picture or someway to do things better :- One of the interesting comments seemed to be this :- MTRR : Your CPU's had inconsistent MTRR settings MTRR : probably your BIOS does not setup all CPU's MTRR : Corrected Configuration ( I did observe the first statement in all the boots, but not sure about the 2nd and 3rd statement. I did observe it on the last boot at least and hence was able to record it.) I did search the web and found this :- https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/mtrr.txt Doing it on another boot in rescue mode gives me this :- $ cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back reg01: base=0x07f700000 ( 2039MB), size= 1MB, count=1: uncachable reg02: base=0x07f800000 ( 2040MB), size= 8MB, count=1: uncachable I have no idea whether the above observation is significant or not. Further down the line I saw this :- ACPI_OSC support notification failed, disabling PCIe ASPM This probably is nothing as don't think I have PCIE bus. then little further down I get 9 systems wakeups disabled Then little after that I get :- ACPI Exception = AE_Not_Found, while evaluating sleep state [\ _S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571) ACPI Exception = AE_Not_Found, while evaluating sleep state [\ _S2_] (20130517/hwxface-571) There are 2 sleep states and both have that exception. It had something like ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 *10 11 12 14 15) ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 *11 12 14 15) ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] (IRQs *3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKE] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKF] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKG] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled ACPI : PCI Interrupt Link [LNKH] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 14 15) some number was given LNKH but cannot remember. If I understand write, it's just the kernel telling which IRQ is given to which device (like mouse, keyboard etc.) A little further down, I get this :- vgaarb: device added PCI:0000:00:02.00 decodes = 10+ meme, Owns= 10+mem, locks=none then little further down :- ACPI : bus type PNP registered another little further down :- PNP : PNP ACPI ; Found 15 devices registered. A few more lines and then no output anymore, staring a giant screen. PNP : PNP ACPI Non-plussed as to what to do next. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
