Summary: boot fails unless "hpet=disable" - MSI S420 / MS-141214
notebook
Kernel Version: 2.6.15-27
Status: NEW
Severity: blocking
Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: none. I tried ubuntu edgy live
cd (2.6.17-x), same problems
Distribution: Ubuntu Linux, also tried booting fedora and knoppix, to no avail
Hardware Environment: MSI-S420 notebook (MS-141214 barebone)
Software Environment: kernel
Problem Description:
Just bought this notebook, and it wont boot unless I add "acpi=off" or
"hpet=disable" to the kernel parameters. This bug might be related to Bug 6984
since that is also an MSI notebook with an ATI chipset.
When I boot with no options, there are the last kernel messages:
using HPET for base-timer
using HPET for gettimeofday
Detected 2000.186 MHz processor
Using hpet for high-res timesource.
After that, the machine hangs (even no response to sysrq key combinations).
I tried "nohpet" instead of "hpet=disable" but that doesn't work.
If more information is needed (which it probably will be), please point me to
the right resources with information on how to obtain that information. I am not
a kernel hacker.
Steps to reproduce:
boot without "acpi=off" or "hpet=disable".
