Any help is appreciated. I have to mention I see similar behavior of my HP laptop when it's resurrected from software suspend sometimes even on FC6.

Finding out what its doing is the first step. 1- is it stuck in userspace? (top) 2- is the kernel really busy? (boot with profile=1, and run readprofile, or use oprofile) 3- does /proc/interrupts show an interrupt arriving at a ridiculously high rate? Without data, we're just arm-waving.

Since it's not fully reproducible with my HP laptop, I will check with Martin to see what happens on his T60 and write results back here.

Yes, i intalled fedora but i never had been able to see something different to a black screen after giving details of configuration. With Slamd64 I first intalled and used the standard driver of X11 with the same result, a black screen when i run startx. I configurate the x system using xorgconfig. Then I decided to look at the internet and found a similar problem reported in: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=75808 and use the advice in this page intalling drivers form NVIDIA; two of them the lastest and one previous (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9625-pkg2.run and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run ), the x system stars but collapse the machine few minutes or seconds later and the only posibility is turning off the computer. I really don't know what i can do.

Watching video was one of the last few reasons I had for rebooting into Windows so this was cool. I recall a flame war on the devel list about some upgrade (I think it was to X.org) which was going to break ATI drivers. I signed off the list at that point. Sure enough, shortly thereafter a "yum upgrade" degraded my machine so that full screen video nologer worked (I now just get a huge black border around the tiny video window when I press 'f' in mplayer). I don't know enough about X.org, Xv, mplayer etc to troubleshoot this problem. I don't even know what info I should post here to help diagnose the problem. Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Joe.

I had an access to Martin's laptop today, so we tried to boot it with nolapic, but unfortunately the same results. I have a good news related to my HP laptop issue. The problem was with three months old FC5 kernel/packages, where for some reason acpid started to use 100% of the CPU after waking up from hibernation and didn't stop until the next reboot. The problem doesn't show up any more after update to kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 and latest updates of the FC5 packages.

Probably Dave can better answer this as it's a kernel matter, but if this driver is by default in the upstream kernel i don't see a reason why i shouldn't be built except if it has some serious know issues.

Ahh, that bug. That comes up from time to time, and I'm not entirely sure why it happens. I'm not sure if its in bugzilla or not, but its worth filing (even if it gets marked as a dupe) so that we can see if there's a pattern amongst the boxes that this problem hits.

Here's how I fixed it. 1. Download the RPM for the i686 version of the kernel: wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm 2. As root, install the kernel. You'll need to force it because the pre-existing kernel conflicts: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm --force Hope this helps. If it does, could you file a bug for me? :) ~ Julian From mcepl at redhat.com Fri Oct 27 10:55:32 2006 From: mcepl at redhat.com (Matej Cepl) Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 12:55:32 +0200 Subject: Speedstep doesn't work on Centrino notebooks for Fedora Core 6 In-Reply-To: <20061026173828.GB12419@redhat.com> References: <20061026173828.GB12419@redhat.com> Message-ID: <1161946532.3225.3.camel@chelcicky.vysocina> Dave Jones p??e v ?t 26. 10. 2006 v 13:38 -0400: > > # /etc/init.d/cpuspeed start > > FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 > > /kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device I have the same here with just now updated FC6 and Dell Inspiron 2200 (Intel Celeron M).

To the point: I use FC5 on Dell Inspiron E1505 (vel 6400) with ICH7 chipset. It has SATA harddisk and IDE DVD drive[1]. CD/DVD burning is slow as well as playing DVDs, because DMA for this drive is turned off and it's impossible to enable it[2]. There are some tips (rather old, for kernels<2.6.13 AFAIK) around. Eg. adding 'hdc=noprobe' or 'combined_mode=libata' to kernel boot command line - that makes dvd drive to work in scsi-emulation mode. And this is where my questions go: 1. What is the current status of ata_piix/libata, is there a work going on to make it possible to enable DMA for IDE drive in native mode? 2. If scsi-emulation is still required to get reasonable transfers, what is the right way to set it up? regards, [1] 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01) [2] [root at moonstone ~]# hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) -- Jaroslaw Gorny -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
