Package: linux-image-2.6.22-3-486
Version: 2.6.22-6
Severity: important

The Linux kernel with 486 flavour should run on each Intel-based
hardware. The current Debian's Linux kernel does not run on Vortex86SX
hardware.

The Vortex86SX is a cheap System on Chip, which provides CPU
compatible with 486SX (without FPU). It does run on Debian's Linux
kernel 2.6.18 from Etch. It crashed after boot with Sid kernel.

The output from console:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill idle task!


The system crash is caused by CONFIG_PARAVIRT option. I recompiled the
486 flavour kernel without CONFIG_PARAVIRT and it works correctly.

I think this option should be removed from 486 flavour.

The same thing - hangs up after boot with apply_paravirt in stacktrace.

ok thanks for feedback, we have newer for you 2.6.24-rc4 images.
see trunk apt snapshot lines -> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel
pls test

if still not working that need to get filed in bugzilla.kernel.org
see foot of http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelReportingBugs

It works correctly with 2.6.24-rc4 image! Where can I find
linux-kbuild-2.6.24 package?
Thank you for solution.

reopen 454776
reassign 454776 linux-image-2.6.24-1-486
thanks

The linux-image-2.6.24-1-486 does not boot on Vortex86SX platform. It
hangs up on apply_paravirt, so I think we have a regression.
