-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all, I have just installed a new PC and I have some problems with the last FC6 kernel (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6). At boot time the kernel prints the following error message: JMB361 dma_base is invalid. After a while it also complains about USB devices: usb 3-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 The main problem is that after some minutes from the boot the PC starts to freeze and than go back to normal. It does this let's say once every minute. The /var/log/messages reports the following message (repeated every couple of seconds): Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: hde: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy } Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: hde: drive not ready for command Also, when you try to insert an USB device (e.g., a drive) the PC freezes for some seconds and the /var/log/message reports the following message: Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1! Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: Call Trace: Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff8026999a>] show_trace+0x34/0x47 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff802699bf>] dump_stack+0x12/0x17 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff802b6c92>] softlockup_tick+0xdb/0xf6 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff80293bdb>] update_process_times+0x42/0x68 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff802749d9>] smp_local_timer_interrupt+0x34/0x55 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff8027508d>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x51/0x69 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<ffffffff8025ccf6>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x66/0x70 Jan 25 16:28:33 bart kernel: [<00002aaaaad3ad83>] There seems to be problems with the IDE cd-rom (SATA HD is working just fine). I guess this problems are related to the "dma_base" message. Kernel 2.6.18 seems to behave better (same error with USB devices, but no "dma_base" error and no freezes). The system is based on a Core 2 duo processor and a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard (Intel controller).
