Hello everybody,
my notebook ASUS F3T with AMD Turion64 X2 processor hang on during boot
with linux-2.6.26-git8 for x86_64. The last messages i see:
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 31
hpet0: 3 32-bit timers, 25000000 Hz
ACPI: RTC can wake from S4
I found 3 way to boot
* pass "noapictimer" kernel parameter, this disable tickless.
so i get the same behavior as in 2.6.25 and early kernels.
* pass "idle=poll", results in tickless enabled, but power
consumption arised.
* pass "idle=halt", results in necessity of regular button
pressing to continue booting.
See attachments for my kernel configuration and dmesg output for
"noapictimer" and "idle=poll" cases.
