[Bug 191137] Re: Hardy boots only in recovery mode on VAIO FE41Z
Hi Everyone, Just a few things to note here. First the upstream git commit id and description which seems to have resulted in the issue you are seeing is as follows: commit c04209a7948b95e8c52084e8595e74e9428653d3 Author: Alexey Starikovskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue Jan 1 14:12:55 2008 -0500 ACPI: EC: Enable boot EC before bus_scan Some _STA methods called during bus_scan() might require EC region handler, which might be enabled later in the scan. Enable it explicitly before scan to avoid errors. Reference: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9627 Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Signed-off-by: Len Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] So it seems fixes for another upstream bug resulted in what you are seeing. I also noticed the following in the dmesg output from Vladimir: [0.00] ACPI: BIOS bug: multiple APIC/MADT found, using 0 [0.00] ACPI: If acpi_apic_instance=2 works better, notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just curious if you tried acpi_apic_instance=2 without the patch applied and if it helps the situation. Unfortunately the kernel is currently frozen for Hardy as we're approximately 2 weeks away from the final release. Obviously reverting this patch will cause issues for others :( I'll ping the Ubuntu kernel team to try and see what can be done but it may be the case that this won't get resolved until the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel opens for development. It would also be helpful if someone who has this issue could first test the current upstream kernel to verify the issue still exists upstream. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild for help with building the upstream kernel. If the issue still exists, if you could post a comment to the upstream bugzilla report (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9627) noting the regression the patch has caused and you've verified that removing the code (ie ifdef'ed it out) resolves the issue. I apologize that this was overlooked until now. Apparently this report wasn't assigned to the right package (ie the Ubuntu kernel source package 'linux') and was being overlooked. It was recently reassigned to the appropriate 'linux' package. Just for future reference, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage can help with this.

[Bug 191137] Re: Hardy boots only in recovery mode on VAIO FE41Z
I've just spotted this bug report on the kernel-team mailing list thanks to Leann. I've been running a Vaio vGN-FE41Z since April 2007. I started with 32-bit builds but moved to x86_64 and have not tried 32-bit again since. I've been testing/using Hardy alongside Gutsy all the way through the development process and not experienced this issue. The laptop is usually on mains power when it boots. Interestingly, I did rewrite the ACPI DSDT to fix an issue with the battery-technology reported as non-rechargeable but that was ages ago and I can't see it being affected by this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=475801 I'll do some systematic tests tomorrow with 64-bit and 32-bit Hardy builds. -- Hardy boots only in recovery mode on VAIO FE41Z https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's not so painful as it seems, is it? However, I forgot to include my wireless drivers when compiling my kernel :( This is strange, because kernel should be exactly in the same configuration as in binary package (unless you changed config in some way, I didn't touch anything, just applied patch, and wireless works) -- Hardy boots only in recovery mode on VAIO FE41Z https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

well i do have wireless... just 802.1x, and i need WPA2 enterprise support. anyways, I have compiled kernels before, I just didn't expect to have the free time to do this, or the free time to fix something if i borked it. Thanks a lot for the patch though, but I'm going to continue booting in recovery mode until this issue is solved at the repository level. It may be a hassle, especially for livecd users, however for me it is a small inconvenience. -- Hardy boots only in recovery mode on VAIO FE41Z https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What do you mean 'NOT depend on'? you never reboot it?
