Summary: intermittent boot failure on Acer Aspire 5735Z
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Other
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No
I am running Debian 64bit and have had intermittent problems with booting.
Initially (Aug 2010) I was running 2.6.32-15 kernel from Debian Squeeze. Please
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591622 for details of my
but report to Debian. I am reporting the bug here, following the advice I got
there.
The problem was that about half the time the system would not boot unless I
removed power and battery to force a reset. The fan would spin up and disk
light go on and off briefly, but no messages on the display.
Following recommendation from that bug report, I upgraded to kernel
2.6.35-trunk-amd64. The failures continued but a little less often.
Recently I installed updates, including update of ACPI packages (I don't recall
the details and don't know how to look them up - sorry). Now the problem is
much worse. I have to remove all power at most, but not all, reboots.
If I disable ACPI, I don't have any problem with reboots.
No doubt you will need more information to isolate the fault. I would be
pleased to provide any information if you tell me how to find it.
