Hello, when trying to boot kernel 2.4.1, 2.4.1-ac9 or 2.4.1-ac13, I get lockups right after the message "now booting kernel". Kernel 2.4.0-test10 ist booting ok on the machine. Rik van Riel suspected on #kernelnewbies this might be a bug in the CPU detection routine. The system in question has an Intel 430HX chipset (Gigabyte 586HX2 board), 104 MB RAM und an AMD K6-III CPU, though the old BIOS detects is as an ordinary K6. Testing vanilla 2.4.1 with or withour MTRR support made no difference. Snippets of .config, 2.4.0-test10 dmesg, and /proc/cpuinfo are included below. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks in advance, Florian P.S.: Please Cc me in replies, as I am not subscribed to linux-kernel. --- .config --- ONFIG_MK6=y CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=5 CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16=y CONFIG_X86_TSC=y CONFIG_X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM=y CONFIG_X86_MSR=m CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y --- ------- --- --- /proc/cpuinfo --- processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 5 model : 9 model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 400.916 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnow k6_mtrr bogomips : 799.53 --- ------------- --- --- dmesg --- Linux version 2.4.0 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debi an GNU/Linux)) #1 Thu Jan 18 20:48:28 CET 2001 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000000000400 @ 000000000009fc00 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000010000 @ 00000000000f0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000010000 @ 00000000ffff0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000006700000 @ 0000000000100000 (usable) On node 0 totalpages: 26624 zone(0): 4096 pages. zone(1): 22528 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
