Hi there,
Now I am at a loss.. I cant get any logs from netconsole. With ACPI
enabled it drops dead just after the kernel hands control to Init. When
I reboot with acpi disabled there is no trace of the previous boot in
/var/log/message or kernel logs.
The network card I have is a Tigon3 and its not initialised before the
system dies... or so it looks (altho I cant seem to get any netconsole
working - I suspect pebkac)
I have tried to find an option where the kernel boot is logged
explicitly to disk, but I cant seem to find the option. There is so much
chaff I cant seem to get my brain to find the REAL options list thats up
to date.
Any pointers are appreciated
go fishing with this bait:
idle=poll
acpi=noirq

Thanks :-) With help from Thomas (and his team) , noapictimer seems to
have fixed the symptom.. now its to hunt for the cure :-)
if the problem is the apic timer stopping during C-states,
then you should find that idle=poll will also work around the problem.
If idle=poll does not work around it but noapictimer does, then
the problem is the apic timer when the system is non-idle.

Hi Len,
thanks - the idle=poll works to fix the problem.
Well, that's hardly a "fix". The power consumption will be very high.
Hehehe, its a start. A booting kernel is definitely a good start (even
one what drinks battery). I have some avenues in the source to
investigate, but being a ACPI n00bie its trying to get my head around
the mass of code thats a daunting task.
