Subject: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp: oppses while starting, during ACPI?

Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

On booting the 2.6.7 smp kernel i recive errors after the line

ACPI Revision 20040326

This errors vary, this is an example

ACPI Revision 20040326
unable to handle NULL pointer dereferance <1> unable to handle kernel
NULL pointer at virtual address 00000001
printing eip
726566675

I have also recived oopses, random asci strings (but no error) followed
by hang, and messages about garbage stacks

The non smp verson of this package boots, i include the output of dmesg
for this kenel

Not all that interested in the non-oopsing kernel boot log; can you send
the boot log of the oopsing kernel? Also, you can try passing
acpi=off to the kernel to keep it from oopsing. Alternatively, if it's
just the pci apci stuff that's causing problems (i've had problems w/ this
code), try pci=noacpi.

Not all that interested in the non-oopsing kernel boot log; can you send
the boot log of the oopsing kernel? Also, you can try passing
acpi=3Doff to the kernel to keep it from oopsing. Alternatively, if it's
just the pci apci stuff that's causing problems (i've had problems w/ thi=

Thanks. I can throw

Actually, looks like it's already in 2.6.8-rc4. Once my colo box is
fixed, I can give you a link to kernel packages..

Hello
I don't think it is included in upstream 2.6.8-rc4, neither in 2.6.8.
but the ACPI staff has released a new revision that resolves this issue among
others:

hopefully this patch is also available against 2.6.7, I'm currently running it
and it works well.

is this fixed for you in latest 2.6.8 for sarge?
or if you are using unstable in newer 2.6.10?

No, the 2.6.8 packaged kernels (I've tired the one in sarge and the one
in sid) do not work without acpi bashing.

I've just tried 2.6.10 and it seems to work! It even detects my dvb card
:) so I'm happy for the moment.

ok great!
well acpi has gotten lots of improvements since 2.6.8,
that's a nontrivial case to backport.
as noacpi works around the bug and 2.6.10 work, i'll close that.
thanks for feedback
