--- Comment #1 from brendan_os <[email protected]> --- I have done many, many tests with kernels from system rescue cds. None of the kernels I tried would boot and stay stable without extra parameters. By stable I mean, did not reset/reboot automatically[1]. More recent kernels would boot neat (ie no parameters) but would reset on a right mouse click/menu operation. However, the following kernels would all boot and be stable with nohz=off parameter: 3.10.25 3.10.32 3.10.55 3.12.7 The following needed acpi=off to boot and be stable. That is, nohz=off was not enough to ensure a booted, stable system: 3.13.5 3.14.20 3.18.34 4.1.27 In one case (3.13.5) nohz=off gave a _stable system on alternate reboots_ first boot unstable reboot stable, reboot unstable etc (rebooted 7 times). Something seems to have happened between 3.12.7 and 3.13.5. Up to 3.12.7 nohz=off was enough to give me a stable system. From 3.13.5, I needed to use acpi=off instead to get a stable system. Note: 1: to test stability I typed uname -r into the console and ran the internet browser, right clicked to get a menu, opened the applications menu. Typically it would reboot within seconds of either a console or X starting (the usb boots to a command line. You then startx). If the system made it to X, right clicking the mouse seemed to trigger a reset. Could someone take a look at this please? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
