Bug#511334: debian-installer: S390 boot fails on Flex-ES machine

2009-03-12 Thread Frans Pop
I think this bug is related to an issue I've seen myself with 2.6.28. The symptoms (point where the boot hangs) are somewhat similar at least. There seems to be a bug in the kernel's timekeeping code which can manifest itself differently depending on the (emulated) hardware clock. My issue was

Actually, a 100 Hz timer seems to work. Then I hang because I didn't load the DASD driver, but I think that's very likely just a problem with my generated RAMDISK. So my recommendation would be to use a 100Hz timer pop for s390 31-bit at least. I wonder if this has anything to do with

Fails on released Lenny as well. I'm installing the kernel sources now to see if I can, in fact, build a working 2.6.26 in an otherwise-Lenny environment. If I get something that works on FLEX-ES I'd like for someone to try it on Hercules. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

Well, my custom kernel (in which, on a hunch, I turned off timer ticks) is still building, but I now have this diagnostic information: If you (under VM) do a CP D P ALL you see that you're generally in scheduler_tick, sometimes in account_user_time_scaled, sometimes tick_switch_to_oneshot.

Turning off the timer gets slightly farther, but hangs at 038c18, which is in raise_softirq . So that's not it. Next step: turning the timer back down to 100 Hz. Doubt that's going to help. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of

Also hangs on Hercules. I'm using a D-I daily from about 1/29, though it looks like the kernel was built 1/10. De -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

It fails the same way with Lenny rc2 as previous versions did. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
