Hello, there are still reports against the latest kernels, that people need to pass processor/intel_idle.max_cstate=1 to successfully boot the kernel. The symptoms are always the same, until the parameter is specified OR until the user presses a key, the system won't boot up. This started to appear between 2.6.31 and 2.6.34 (possibly a 2.6.33 regression) and continues to be reported against the latest stable 2.6.37.3. For example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15289 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579932 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673589 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675161 I see that there were some fixes in .38-rc in this bug report (they look unrelated): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29992 Should they give .38-rc a try? Any help would be appreciated. thanks, -- js suse labs _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
