Bug Description
I tried todays Intrepid daily build on my new HP EliteBook 8530w. When I tried to install Ubuntu with the alternate disc, the kernel stopped booting some seconds after the boot menu. I changed the boot paramter and removed "quiet". I made a picture at the point the kernel hangs (see Attachement)
The kernel stopps working when he says:
ACPI: Thermal Zone [DTSZ]
With the kernel parameter "acpi=off" everything works....
===
SRU Justification
Justification: HP machines will not boot without this fix
Impact: HP (and potentially others with an _INI ACPI method) trip a check which is intended to be ASUS specific. This triggers a panic.
Fix Description: Limints the work around to ACUS hardware via a DMI match.
Risks: this should be low risk
TEST CASE: boot such a system

I can confirm this problem. I tried with several boot options such as nolapic and so on. It still doesn't work, I get different errors though.

Hi Sanix,
Nice to see another ubuntu user who own this device... can you contact me (e-mail should be visible in my profile), maybe we can share information how to bring other things to work on it....

Will you please attach the output of acpidump?
Will you please try the boot option of "processor.
Thanks.

I tried this boot options, and both didn't worked...
Intresting is, that SuSE 11 with latest updates seems to work: http://
I'll gona try some other kernel versions...
| falstaff (falstaff) wrote : | #8 |
I tried the new 2.6.28-rc2, which did not work. Then I tried 2.6.25.19, which worked with ACPI, but only some times. About every second time he hangs at the same point where the current Ubuntu 8.10 kernel does. But sometimes he boots and acpi seems to work.
I attached output of dmesg when booting succeeded with 2.6.25.19.
| falstaff (falstaff) wrote : | #9 |
A pretty simple workaround is available:
Disable the BIOS option "Fan always ON on AC Power" under "System Config" -> "Device Config". With this option I could boot the system with latest Intrepid Kernel....
I found this here: http://

There's still one bug though, after entering the user login data, gnome hangs for about 60 seconds. This behaviour does not exist in OpenSuse 11.

I'm afraid the same problem affects HP EliteBook 8530p. The system randomly freezes even after adding acpi=off to the boot command line and disabling "Fan always ON on AC Power".
This is stopping Ubuntu to work in this new HP line.
As someone mentioned before that latest SuSE seems to work here, I'd like to add that Fedora 10 is also booting in this machine apparently with no issues.

I also have the same model laptop, and as I commented in this other bug report (found it before I found this one), I can use serial-over-LAN to get stacktraces of the OOPSes.

Should I reattach my attachments and comments to this bug report?
| falstaff (falstaff) wrote : | #14 |
Dana,
Did you tried it with the BIOS option "Fan always ON on AC Power"?
bye
falstaff
| Dana Goyette (danagoyette) wrote : | #15 |
I was using it with that BIOS setting enabled, because that's my preference, but now that I've disabled that option, it boots. However, I'd consider that more of a workaround, and not a fix -- I'd like to be able to get it to boot with that option enabled.
Perhaps I should try doing a diff of the disassembled DSDT, between option enabled disabled.
| Dana Goyette (danagoyette) wrote : | #16 |
Correction: I diff'd the two binary dsdt files, and there's no difference.

This is a kernel bug and is no distribution-

Is already solved in 2.6.27.7, can we put this fix in Ubuntu too?

@falstaff -- 2.6.27.7 should already be included in the updated kernels in Intrepid -proposed. Can you check that kernel and report back. Please see https:/
| Andy Whitcroft (apw) wrote : | #20 |
If this is a kernel bug then its package 'linux' not 'linux-meta'.
| Dana Goyette (danagoyette) wrote : | #21 |
Does the Jaunty 2.6.28-5 kernel also include this fix?
| falstaff (falstaff) wrote : | #22 |
I've installed the latest Kernel from proposed, but it still doesnt work...
$ uname -a
Linux alpha 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 13:58:13 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Might be that its another bug on 8530w. Anyway, there are some other outputs now in dmesg, this two lines doesnt appear anymore:
[ 3.268250] ACPI: EC: missing OBF confirmation, don't expect it any longer.
[ 3.774580] ACPI: EC: missing write data confirmation, don't expect it any longer.
On the Kernel bugzilla they talked about this lines, so it changes something... Despite of the boot bug, I sometimes had some ACPI-Errors when I was reading battery temerature, so it might be solve this problem... :-)
| falstaff (falstaff) wrote : | #23 |
Hm, I read the comments on Kernel Bugzilla once again. As far as I understand the "Fan always on" bug is solved by a patch which is only applied to 2.6.29-rc1 (second last comment). So I think it isn't included in 2.6.27.7! Can we apply this patch in 2.6.27-11 anyway?

@falstaff -- ahh, yes looking at the bug there are two copies of the patch but neither seem to be applied to Intrepid or Jaunty.
I have pulled the version of the patch for older kernels and applied it to both the Intrepid and Jaunty kernels (I believe we have testers for both). If those of you who can test this could test these kernels and report back here. Please include the architecture and release you tested in your report. The kernels are at the URL below:

I tested it on my HP 8530w on Intrepid AMD64. It works with the new kernel from the link above with BIOS option "Fan always ON on AC Power" enabled!
