Hello,
This looks very similar to what is described in this thread
11.4 Boot Freeze
That is there is a
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck
message and the boot hangs.
The modprobe/migration codes are not identical with the linked thread. I’m stuck with CPU#0 at [modprobe:138] and #1 stuck at [migration1:8]. Generally after 61 or 63s.
This is a zypper dup from latest 11.3.
The machine boots with acpi=off, luckily. But I’d like to have it all working.
The forum says I can’t post attachments; hwinfo output seems a bit copious to quote inline. But I’d be happy to provide any additional info obviously.
Basic HW is Core2 E8400, Intel G41 chipset. Cheap ASRock MB.
TIA,
-Emery
It may be helpful to tell use what hardware this occurs on.
It’s a white box. Core2 E8400 3 GHz, ASRock G41M-S MB (Intel G41 + ICH7 Chipsets). 2 Gig of Ram. That’s it. There’s a Sata disk of some sort and a usb keyboard/mouse.
You might check for BIOS updates for that board.
Also since this is a desktop acpi is not as important as on a laptop.
OK I went through the exercise and updated the BIOS. No change.
This computer doesn’t really ever get turned off (except weekends!) so ACPI does have a purpose. I’d like to have everything working correctly at 11.4 level. For 11.3 I had to run in safe mode to avoid panics. (Turning acpi off helped but did not eliminate that problem).
I’m guessing this is the same as Bug 679178.
Dear Friends,
I have a Samsung R528 Laptop. I had exactly the same problem after upgrading to 11.4. This problem might possibly related to KMS feature of the kernel
The problem was solved after adding the boot option ACPI_OSI=“Linux”
