This bug has been abandoned as far as I know since there has been no
response from the reporter in three weeks to post the latest failure
(which was then 2.6.31-rc5).

OK, I'm going to close it as "not enough information", then.

I've been busy with other things. I'll try to take a look at this
tomorrow.

While this still isn't fixed it has been tracked down to a regression
in the loop driver. Care to adjust the subject?

Unsure how to edit on the kernel bugtracker but updating this thread to
correct the subject.

I've changed the subject and moved the bug to I/O & storage.

Should we just revert that barrier support in loopback, like I
suggested in bugzilla?

0e64a0c has this cleanup, which isn't equivalent to the previous code:
@@ -779,11 +834,12 @@ static int powernow_k8_cpu_init_acpi(struct powernow_k8_data *data)
goto err_out;
}
- if ((data->acpi_data.control_register.space_id != ACPI_ADR_SPACE_FIXED_HARDWARE) ||
- (data->acpi_data.status_register.space_id != ACPI_ADR_SPACE_FIXED_HARDWARE)) {
+ space_id = data->acpi_data.control_register.space_id;

goto err_out;
}
This got fixed in 2c701b1 in 2.6.31-rc8, so this is most likely the
problem that Kurt was encountering.
Kurt, could you try 2.6.31 and see if you still experience the issue? If
not, this can be closed.

Please look at the patch I attached to the bug report. There is
other code that is not equivalent. It's in comment #17:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13780#c17
And the patch itself:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23048
This patch fixes my problem.

I also noticed this difference (comment #18), patched it, and
tried it. This is not the issue. Also note that I tested the
2.6.31-rc9 kernel which still had the problem.
The bug report might be a little confusing since after comment #18
there are older mails pasted in the bug report.

Ah, I hadn't noticed you attached a patch there that fixes the issue for
you. Is it en-route to Dave Jones so that it can make its way upstream?

I have no idea, so I would guess not.

Hi all,
Today i compilied the new kernel 2.6.31 and everything works ok.
Maybe it's related to other changes in the generic.c file.
So everything works ok for me with AGP in 2.6.31.
I do not get the problem like it was in 2.6.30.x
2.6.31:
