Description GNUtoo 2006-04-04 18:21:56 UTC
it's my first kernel pannic that is 100% related to the kernel
so i don't know what information include...
i have kalysman inside the kenrel

i give some information anyway:
1)/boot/grub/menu.lst content
2)kenrel diaplay... [file]
3)kernel configuration [file]
4)emerge --info

1)/boot/grub/menu.lst content
my previous kernel is the 2.6.15.gentoo-r1
# For booting Gentux
title  Gentux
root (hd0,3)
kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4
#kernel /boot/default/gentoo root=/dev/hda4 mpu_port=0x330
#initrd /initrd.img

#testing kernel
title testing 2.6.16-r1 gentoo
root(hd0,3)
kernel /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r1/arch/i386/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4

2)kenrel display...
i can take photos and i have one...
i'll add it as a file
i can also take videos so i can have all the text scrolling

the photo of the kernel

it was problematic because i needed to transfer files from a computer to another with a non working nfs
if i don't know well were to start in order to debug nfs should i bugreport?
Comment 14 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-14 04:11:04 UTC
Thanks, that gives us something to work on. Is this reproducible with vanilla-sources-2.6.16?

i will try but the computer is a piii 700 with 320MB ram,so it's a little bit slow  to compile...
i will first try the linux-2.6.16.5 from kenrel.org because i already compiled it
Comment 16 GNUtoo 2006-04-14 08:40:49 UTC
the linux-2.6.16.5 from kernel.org gives me the same kind of error screen

by the way i have forgotten to give the full specs of my machine 
-dell inspiron 2500
-piii 1000@700 (because when it's at 1000MHz the fan is on nearly 100% of the time)
-320 MB sd-ram
i will add the oput of some commands as a file,because it will be easyer to view(as bugzilla can display the text inside the browser)

2.6.16.5 is fine, thanks for testing that.

Can you disable the logo and increase the screen resolution? That way, we should be able to see the full error message.

i'll do that...
i have to try in an incremental way for the resolution
so in order to take less time i will recompile the kernel using the existant binary(that means that i keep the binary inside /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.5/arch/i386/boot/BzImage and that i make a make under /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.5/)
Comment 23 GNUtoo 2006-04-16 17:33:49 UTC
by the way i have 2 computers runing gentoo
i have no serial cable but:
*i can construct one
*i have networking

so mabe it's better to:
*compile the kenrel with a lot of debuging option and send the oput to the second computer

The problem is that i don't know how to do theses things(get the message from a kernel inside another computer)

that could also help me to debug another problem that is a scsi problem(computer hanging) with my second computer
Comment 24 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-16 17:47:22 UTC
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt details how to set up a serial console. You'll need to google for some howto for the parameters to use in minicom on the listening computer.
Comment 25 GNUtoo 2006-04-16 19:03:23 UTC
the photography isn't that great so i'll use serial cable

another question that seems stupid
i'll find the scemat but...what about the cable
what is:
-the max length of the cable?
-i have some cat5 networking,some telephone cable and a lot of others ones

are cat5 ok or do i need special cables(the proprieties of cables are very important in certain domain but i don't know if this aply here) in order to built this cable

another stupider question:
what is the name of the cable because there are different design on the web such as null modem, and even diferent serial cables names
Comment 26 GNUtoo 2006-04-16 19:29:36 UTC
i found an old isa card and a niden cable
i'll try that

photo of kernel panic

I think i have hit the same thing, or atleast is related, I get kernel panic with 2.6.16 kernels with parallel port support enabled. Boots fine with parallel support disabled. 2.6.15 and earlier kernels worked without propblems parallel port support enabled. Attached a photo of the panic showing the whole thing.

THANK A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
BECAUSE EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE THE PARALLEL PORT I WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE NEW RELASES 2.6.17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way i will still try to bugreport but as the serial port is too dificult(no help) i will try another way with Magic SysRq key
Comment 29 GNUtoo 2006-04-22 16:38:28 UTC
GREAT...it works...
i am waiting impatiently for the 2.6.17(i heard that they would integrate new wifi chip and mabe have an updated NTFS driver)

mabe we should try the parallel port in module and debug it

we should have some docs specific to the kernel for bugreporting...
mabe we could use the kernel device driver book(avaliable in an open-licence and on the net but also as an oreilly book) in order to write such documents

> I think i have hit the same thing, or atleast is related,

Yes - thats the same, and the image captures the entire crash report. Thanks!

I should have probably mentioned beforehand that disabling parport will workaround this - sorry.

Could one of you please confirm this bug still exists on the latest development kernel (2.6.17-rc2) before I report it upstream?

Just emerged and tested 2.6.17-rc2 and it booted without errors with parallel port support so looks like this is fixed upstream already.
Comment 32 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-23 03:30:27 UTC
I checked and tipar is not hardware-dependant (module kind-of functions even without the TI calculator, as long as you have a parallel port). I can reproduce this here and am working on a fix.

If 2.6.17 boots OK then it sounds like you haven't compiled tipar support in.

I HAVE NOT the 2.6.17,i am just waiting for it impatiently:
the problem was for the 2.6.16 that now BOOT
sumup:
i had 2.6.15
2.6.16(that means 2.6.16.0->2.6.16.9) didn't work...that was problematic because i wouldn't be able to run a new kernel anymore...
2.6.17 had several improvement that i wanted(NTFS) but i knew that i woudn't be able to run it when it would comes out
and so when i booted 2.6.16 i say wow...i understood that 2.6.17 would work and so i wait impatiently for 2.6.17
