Bug#619433: linux-image-2.6.38-1-686: early crash with ACPI (regression)
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-1
Severity: important
Hello,
My laptop cannot boot anymore with latest 2.6.38 kernel (also tested
with all available 2.6.38 rc in experimental) while ACPI support is
enabled. As mentioned in the object, I suspect an ACPI related problem.
Indeed booting with ACPI=off allows ending the boot sequence but many
functionalities are lost including the cardbus support and consequently
the wifi connexion (I must admit that I have not investigated a lot how
to recover it without acpi). I wish I could have ACPI support as I had
with all older kernels up to 2.6.37. I am currently running 2.6.37-2-686
version without any problem.
I cannot provide a descent dmesg output because the crash occurs early
in the boot. I recorded the boot and the video is available at
http://dl.free.fr/kUzM29dEp but I fair it does not give usefull
information.
I am aware that only this and lspci output do not result in a valuable
bug report.
Could you please tell me what usefull information I could provide? Can a
dmesg from the working 2.6.37 help ? Can a dmesg with 2.6.38 and
ACPI=off help ?
Thanks in advance for advice.
Regards
Pascal Dormeau

Please report this upstream at <https://bugzilla.kernel.org>,
under product 'ACPI', component 'ACPICA-Core'. Let us know the bug
URL so we can track it.
You should link *directly* to the video, if possible, because it
took me some time to work out where the link was on the 'getfile.pl'
page. Also you should provide the most important lines as text,
which appear to be:
I was going to ask you to use the 'boot_delay' kernel parameter
to slow down log output, but now I realise this isn't enabled in
the Debian kernel packages. If you can build a custom kernel with
CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and test it with boot_delay=1000 then
you should be able to get still pictures of the whole of the 'oops'
message. But the above lines may be enough of a clue to the ACPI
developers.

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer. I will report upstream once I
have rebuild a custom kernel with the CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
option and will let you know.
Sorry for the video, I did not realize about the indirect link. I
will try to give a more direct link or find another site for hosting
the new video.
