Bug#607194: bugs.debian.org: Computer randomly fails on startup
retitle 607194 radeon: random general protection faults when RV620 firmware not installed found 607194 linux-2.6/2.6.32-29 # probably affects wheezy, too tags 607194 - squeeze reassign 610851 src:linux-2.6 2.6.32-30 merge 610851 607194 quit Hi Andries, Bergen A van wrote: In Squeeze all non-free firmware is removed out of the kernel. So I decided to run Squeeze whithout non-free firmware. Then the bug occurs randomly at startup. I have long struggled with the problem and tried everything. At one point I decided to solve: [ 19.381024] r600_cp: Failed to load firmware radeon/RV620_pfp.bin by installing the firmware-linux-nonfree package. This has solved the problem! Do not know why. So it seems that Squeeze cannot be run on HP Pavilion dv2 whitout non-free firmware. I see. This sounds like http://bugs.debian.org/610851 (oopses reminiscent of memory corruption after modesetting without radeon microcode installed). Maybe the ACPI errors were a red herring. Please attach dmesg output from a boot with the non-free firmware installed, for comparison with the log already sent.

Please feel free to file a separate bug for them if you have time to answer questions to solve that. ---BeginMessage--- See attachment for dmesg output.

Questions: - did this problem arise with an upgrade, or has it always worked this way? If the former, what version of the kernel worked? - how did you install / recover logs? - is your BIOS up to date? - if there's a configuration that allows a stable boot, could you attach output of /usr/share/bug/linux-image-$(uname -r)/script 31 (which gives an overview of hardware and drivers used) and acpidump (which gives a dump of ACPI tables as Linux sees them)? - does a more recent kernel behave the same way? (For example, one can check if it's possible to boot with a wheezy installation CD.)
