2.4.0-test10 and earlier problem list:
Problem | UP UP-APIC SMP --------|------------------------------------------------ 1 | OK OK HARDLOCK 2 | OK FAILS OK 3 | HARDLOCK HARDLOCK HARDLOCK 4 | BROKEN BROKEN BROKEN
Problem description:
1. kernel compiled w/o FB support. When attempting to switch back to X from VC1-6 system locks hard for SMP. Nada thing fixes this except hard reset... no Alt-SysRq-B, nothing DRI not enabled. Video card has r128 chipset.
2. System is a NFS root machine, after a period of heavy ntwk activity, eg. "make clean" in /usr/src/linux ETH0 no longer works or sometimes just ntwk activity during system boot is enough to cause the ETH activity to cease.
The only recourse is to Alt-SysRq-B the system. NIC = NE2K ISA
3. Enabling PIIX4, kernel locks hard when printing the partition
tables for hdc. hdc has no partitions.
I think this problem is on Ted's problem list???
4. ISAPNP assigns an invalid/unusable IRQ to NE2K NIC card. Previously reported to Linux & Ingo, they asked for an MPTABLE dump, haven't heard back since providing said data.

Disable PIIXn tuning and recompile your kernel. How does it fare now?

Yep, disabling (opposite of "enabling") does allow the kernel to boot just fine. PIIXn tuning must be tickling something on the system so that the first time we read from the disk, partition check block 0, the system freezes hard.
I do know that w/o PIIXn tuning the result of the first block read is all zero's hence the "/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: unknown partition table" message.
Any idea how to go about debugging this kind of lockup?
Guess i'll scrounge up a couple of disks and see if it's controller or disk related.
Weren't you also experiencing this type of problem on a laptop?

Yes..long standing bug, and I don't have sufficient time to get my feet wet in the IDE dept and fix it.

Me Too (tm). No FB support, no DRI, lock occurs randomly during switching back to X from VC. no keyboard, no net, no video (my monitor switches off)
HW: Asus P2B-D (2xPIII/700)
ATI Rage Pro r128
