Here are the results: Pallipadi, Venkatesh wrote: > 1) Does this problem go way if you boot with maxcpus=1? No. The modules are loaded via initrd and SuSE prints the name of the module before loading it. So I get on console Loading processor ACPI: CPU0 (power states:C1[C1]) ACPI: CPU0 (power states:C1[C1]) Loading thermal Loading fan Waiting for device /dev/sda1 to appear: ok Attempting manual resume Loading jdb Loading ext Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear: ok rootfs: major=8 minor=2 devn=2050 Then the system freezes. Without the maxcpus argument the freeze happens already in front of the above "Loading thermal" line. > 2) Does the problem go away if you not load the acpi processor module? Yes. When I remove processor (and thermal as it has a dependency on processor) to be loaded by initrd then the freeze happens at some time later when acpid gets started, as SuSE loads these modules at that time again in case they were not loaded already. When I remove loading the processor (and thermal) module at this location too, then the system is running ok so far besides the restrictions which result from not loading these modules. What should I try next? Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
