dell poweredge 1800 blocked as soon as *dm starts with dapper kernel 686 and server version

[Andres Mujica]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-22-686

Hi, i've got a dell poweredge 1800 with this problem.

I'm using latest dapper kernel:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-2.6.12-9-386 2.6.12-9.23 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.12 on 386ii linux-image-2.6.15-22-386 2.6.15-22.34 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on 386ii linux-image-2.6.15-22-686 2.6.15-22.34 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPrii linux-image-2.6.15-22-server 2.6.15-22.34 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on Serii linux-image-386 2.6.15.21 Linux kernel image on 386.
ii linux-image-686 2.6.15.21 Linux kernel image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/

if i select inux-image-2.6.15-22-386 it starts ok, i can work on the system.

if i select inux-image-2.6.15-22-686 / server it dies after loading kdm (just the background image)

i think this bug is critical

/var/log/debug file attached

let me know what else do i need to add so it can be fixed.

debug log

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

this is the debug log from may 18 11:18:01 to May 18 12:20:01

the kernel 686 loads during May 18 12:16:01 and hangs the system after gui is loaded. (on this run i've managed to get a working session but after a while the system freezed complete)

i hope there's some info useful here, i'm gonna check the other logs nad upload them as well.

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

here's the syslog for the same timeframe when kernel 686 loaded until it dies

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

this is a piece of kern.log just before the system freezes

just an idea, seem to be something with ati radeon card?

i must say that if i disable *gm and start only a text console, the system didn't freeze.

here´s the pci

with kernel

ii linux-image-2.6.15-23-686 2.6.15-23.35 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPr

seems to be solved the problem.

i'll try to test to provide more data an safely close thiis bug

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

this seems to be solved, up to now there are no more issues with the server and kernel.
