daily maverick live cd won't boot with acpi on

[ZyroBlue]

hey all,

Being curious about Maverick, I went to cdimage.ubuntu.com and downloaded the daily live CD. When booting it, I got nothing but a white underscore that would stay there forever. I then tried to go through the options at F6 and detected that with acpi=off parameter, it would boot just fine. The white underscore appears to appear before Plymouth. This may suggest that there is a driver issue with radeon? Or KMS or the Kernel? Hardware issue can be excluded, I guess, since Lucid, which I am writing this on, works just fine.
Figuration is hard I guess because there is no error message as such..I couldn't find any bug report on Launchpad with acpi so I figured I'ld file this one.
I would dearly love to attach my apport info about my system but since I can't relate it to a process..well, I just have to write several specs down. Maybe this will help!:)
ASUS Pro61S, C2D T6400, x64, 4 GB RAM, Radeon HD 4570, Atheros AR-928X.
I hope there is some more I can do to help you fix this..Just tell me if so ;)

Best,
ZyroBlue

I've got the same problem with the actual version of the linux kernell: 2.6.25.32 after a fresh update of ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu10.10. the only way to boot correctly with this kernel is to set up acpi=off in grub config file. Maybe it s a problem with radeon driver or KMS.

[satet (order-regis)]

I have a Toshiba Satellite A665D-S6059 with the same problem using an update from 10.04 to the final 10.10. Another curious fact is that when it boots (with acpi=off) the machine will shutdown when requested, but will not turn off without pressing the power button. The first restart then fails, even with acpi=off, but will reboot with the second restart. I did not see this behavior with 10.04 version.

[ZyroBlue (ferahgo-de)]

The fact that you can only shutdown with pressing the power button is a direct consequence of booting without ACPI, since that's one of the things that ACPI is for, besides FN-buttons, reaction on closing your lid, standby modes and so on. So this is kind of the plan. Hence a more or less modern system is pretty much useless without ACPI. Pretty bad..The second symptom sounds pretty odd, though..

[satet (order-regis)]

That confirms my suspicion and I agree that the system is severely limited without acpi - but as I indicated, the boot will not proceed if acpi is left on. I suspect that the requirement of booting twice is also a consequence of acpi=off. It looks like the shutdown does not complete and the first boot somehow completes the process. That, of course, is a guess. I have found a number of other bugs with this distribution (no webcam, e.g., which I understand is a consequence of a change in the ia32-libs package). Any suggestions for getting rid of the aicp=off condition, other than waiting for a fix, would be welcome.

[Ingo Lafrenz (curly060)]

I can confirm this issue:
- Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2
- Chipset: AMD690V
- CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+

Ubuntu in all kind of versions (8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, 32 and 64 bit) worked like a charm. But after the update to 10.10 booting fails.
In recovery mode the last message I can see is:
"Freeing initrd memory..."
After that the computer is totally frozen. Only the reset button works.

The same thing happens with the LiveCD (32bit). It just freezes.

The only solution is to use acpi=off as parameter to start from the CD.

I also added acpi=off to the kernel options of the installation, but then of course the computer won't power down after the shutdown and has to be manually switched off with the power button.

ACPI has worked in all previous versions of Ubuntu. Now not anymore. What happened? What is the proper fix? acpi=off is not really a solution for me.

[michael taranto (mik-taranto)]

im having the same problem on an asus pro61s laptop running 10.10, it will boot with acpi=off or pci=noacpi,
 so i installed using this method, but still have to boot with one of these options,I've installed all ubuntu updates and upgraded to the latest bios, but no change.
 it seems to run ok in
this mode on the desktop but once you load a program e.g. firefox, the pointer for the touchpad becomes jerky, i haven't tried it with a usb mouse yet.
I'm guessing it is to do with the sis chipset or the ati graphics as some of the windows display like their in 256 colours.

model - asus pro61sl

graphics - ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4570, 512MB VRAM

A fix for this would be most appreciated as my partner is so frustrated with using windows.

[Teteph (stephane-ravier)]

I have exactly the same problem but without a laptop (my machine is a desktop). I had to use acpi=off to boot from CD. Impossible to start after installation. I wiil try to use this option again but as mentioned before, this is not a long term solution. I really don't understand how a so severe bug is possible in a release (especially because there was really no problem with previous releases!). Hope for a good solution... coming soon !

[Ingo Lafrenz (curly060)]

The problem persists with kernel 2.6.35-23. It is very annoying, since you need to manually power off the computer and all the ACPI features are disabled.

I have tried to play with various options with the acpi kernel parameter (e.g. acpi=ht, acpi=noirq) but they all have absolutely no effect to the problem.

The only way to boot properly is still acpi=off.

I would add more information, but since the computer freezes at such an early stage, I get no chance to capture some log files.

[PA Parent (paparent)]

I have the same problem on my laptop with Linux Mint 10, same kernel (2.6.35-23).

Have the same problem on an ASUS X71SL.
I can boot with either acpi=off or nolapic. The nolapic is more useable but then I may have lost the multiprocessor benefits (only one cpu appears in /proc/cpuinfo instead of two).

[sdementen (sdementen)]

Using pci=noacpi instead of acpi=off works also and is more usable

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Dropped the deprecated team assignment as this is on our list. Marked as Triaged, however, I would like to get some environment information from ZyroBlue of the machine this was seen on.

ZyroBlue, would you mind running apport-collect linux 626622 so that the data is appended here?

Thanks!

[ZyroBlue (ferahgo-de)]

I wouldn't mind, but have by now openSUSE installed on my machine. As it seems to be a bit of an ASUS bugger and supposingly their chipsets (SiS), I think the others suffering from the same problem can be of help just as good as me. :)

[Ingo Lafrenz (curly060)]

I could run apport-collect on the system I mentioned above, if you want. This problem is really getting to me so I will gladly help!

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

Here's the lshw output from the pc concerned ....

[clytle374 (clytle374)]

I've got this issue also. It's on a Toshiba Satellite A665-6051. 10.04 worked okay but 10.10 requires irg=noacpi to boot. Last line while trying to boot is
NET: Registered protocol family 1
Not sure what all things are lacking with irq=noacpi since I just tried that, anyway works much better than the acpi=off option.

I'll help if I can, contact me. I can usually patch/build kernels if needed. The howto I found doesn't show how to get the source, I usually use Gentoo so that's all different that what I'm used to.

Thanks
Cory

[clytle374 (clytle374)]

The above was supposed to be pci=noacpi not irq=noacpi

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

matched the importance with the development task.

~JFo

[Chereji Mihai (croncobaurul)]

Everyone, can you please confirm that using nolapic instead of noacpi will let you boot normally? It seems to work for me, and this narrows the search for the bug.

Also, from my experience, the last version that seems to work for me is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/ I would suggest everyone install this version, see if it works for you (without disabling acpi) to see if this is indeed the same bug.

[ZyroBlue (ferahgo-de)]

nolapic does the trick — with a natty daily live, at least. And it’s no kernel issue per se, from my naive point of view: I’m on openSUSE 11.4 right now. They use 2.6.37 and it works. So I assume it has to be something Ubuntu-specific..

Indeed, openSuse 11.4 works for me too, with kernel 2.6.37 on it.

This makes the search for the bug a bit harder. Not only do we not know
exactly what hardware causes the behavior (I can't find a common component
between all the laptops listed above) but also the packet which causes it.

I'm downloading Debian live to see if it will boot. I suggest others do the
same, to see if this is an upstream issue.

[ZyroBlue (ferahgo-de)]

Hum...Strange enough. Really. From my fairly basic skills, what about a chipset problem? Most of the Laptops affected seem to be ASUS for me. And quite a number appears to be using a SiS-chipset. Maybe that is where we can start off for hunting it down?
Plus: Is LAPIC entirely hardware-relying or does the kernel do a thing about it? Maybe take a look at the differences in that area between the openSUSE-kernel vs. Ubuntu/possibly Debian?

[Chereji Mihai (croncobaurul)]

Most likely a chipset problem, but that's well beyond my expertise. I'm pretty sure this will require some heavy lifting/searching by someone with more experience. :-/

[Chereji Mihai (croncobaurul)]

As this seems to also affect Natty, shouldn't it be marked as such? I tried doing so myself, but I'm not allowed.

[durammx (durammx)]

I'm using natty and acpi=off do the trick! Searching for a better way to resolve the question (less agressive) I found some posts who add problems with fail to load on Asus laptop (mine X71SL).

Yes! I have the same laptop model (Asus X71SL) and pci=nomsi works. This
is indeed better than nolapic as it leaves you use all cores on your
machine. And I believe this restrains the search area for the bug a
little bit. This may be just a motherboard issue, and out of the hands
of the kernel developers, but I do hope this gets resolved someday.

[nanobyte (unexplained)]

I have the same problems with my intel 5520 chipset based motheboard, the fix for me is install ubuntu with acpic off, installing microcode packages (microcode.ctl & intel-microcode), restart and turn on back acpic on bios, in my side it works now.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

natty has no proposed candidates ergo, this cannot be a regression-proposed bug. Removing the tag.

[m3rb (m3rb)]

I was having this issue on an HP Z800 workstation. Specifically, the Lucid kernel worked fine, but Maverick or Natty would crash (cause a reboot) very quickly after making the grub menu selection.

Same symptom with the Natty Live CD.

acpi=off or nolapic allowed a normal boot. pci=nomsi did not, although with that, there was a hang rather than a reboot.

I also tried the "intel-microcode" fix described by nanobyte above, but that did not work for me.

Turns out I was running a very out-of-date BIOS. Everything is fine after flashing to the latest.

[Chereji Mihai (croncobaurul)]

Seems to me that was a different bug. Probably no need to file for it,
since it's already fixed. Glad things worked out :)

[DGelling (dgelling)]

Finally installed Natty, but also still have this same problem. I can confirm that pci=nomsi fixes the problem, as does acpi=off and nolapic. Installed the intel-microcode package, but this doesn't change anything. Maybe I need to do more than just installing it, but I'm not sure what. In any case I can live with booting with pci=nomsi.

As an aside, installing a non-ubuntu kernel does fix the problem (I was using the liquorix kernels no problem)

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for someone having this issue to see if it still happens with Oneiric?

[Eric Friedrich (eric-friedrich84)]

Yes, I upgraded this past weekend and the issue still occurs. Disabling ACPI still allows me to boot w/ Oneiric.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it also be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the release candidate kernel versus the daily build. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

[Eric Friedrich (eric-friedrich84)]

I can confirm that the bug still exists on the mainline kernel build as well. I tested with 3.1.0-0301rc10-generic. The workaround is functional on this kernel image as well.

I can provide more information if needed, just let me know what I need to gather.

[Israel Dahl (israeldahl)]

I have the same problem. I have had to revert back to 10.04, because every newer version requires me to boot with acpi=off. NO other option would work. I tried every possible one, I found.
Compaq Presario R3000.
I have tested older versions of Ubuntu to see if there was a problem with my comp.... but I can run Feisty, and Hardy just fine. I can also run Lucid Puppy 5.25. I can reinstall another version to provide more info if needed. But I cannot run my system without acpi all the time. I posted some info on it on Ubuntu forums

Well according to "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes"

With 10.10 we have also dropped support for i586 and lower processors, as well as i686 processors without cmov support.

I guess this isn't a bug, but an intentional design????

I don't think thats the issue, as this is occurring for me on a processor with the cmov instruction.

lshw output from another system that is affected by this issue. Running kernel 2.6.38-8-generic. Using 'pci=noacpi' allows the system to boot, 'pci=nomsi' has no affect.

@Eric right.... I found mine doesn't depend on the CMOV either..... The problem persists for me in the 12.04 BETA

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

This bug affects Ubuntu 10.10, Maverick Meerkat. Maverick has reached end-of-life and is no longer supported, so I am closing the bugtask for Maverick. Please upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu.
More information here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-April/000158.html

Most ACPI problems can be solved by updating to a newer BIOS. In Israel's case that is available from http://www.compaq.com/country/cpq_support.html

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in a supported series, please file a new bug.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Idler (idler-pcinhk)]

The problem persists for me in all the later updates!

> Being curious about Maverick, I went to cdimage.ubuntu.com and downloaded the daily live CD. When booting it, I got nothing but a white underscore that would stay there forever. I then tried to go through the options at F6 and detected that with acpi=off parameter, it would boot just fine. The white underscore appears to appear before Plymouth. This may suggest that there is a driver issue with radeon? Or KMS or the Kernel? Hardware issue can be excluded, I guess, since Lucid, which I am writing this on, works just fine.
> Figuration is hard I guess because there is no error message as such..I couldn't find any bug report on Launchpad with acpi so I figured I'ld file this one.
