Description ben 2004-06-07 12:37:19 UTC 
I was emerging gnome and went away.  Some time later I come back and it's clearly  frozen--monitor in low power mode, but I can't get it to come back up.  I restarted; in /var/log/messages was: (it was much longer, if you need the whole thing I'll post it):

Kernel config is at http://home.uchicago.edu/~wolfson/.config .  It's vanilla 2.6.6.

HOWEVER, I've also encountered some internal compiler errors while compiling large programs---it happens pretty consistently while emerging qt, for example.  Those reports suggest hardware problems.  The memory passes memtest86 fine.  I don't know if this is related.  Should I just disable ACPI?  Should I enable APM, or just not use power management?  The mobo is ASUS AV7V600.

(Also, I just noticed that I have "apm" in USE.  That was after I had already configured & compiled the kernel by hand---without apm support.  What user programs might be affecting this?)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go Away
2.  Come Back
3.  Uh oh!

Actual Results:  
Sometimes it works ok, sometimes it's busted as above.

Comment 1 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-20 05:39:33 UTC 
Since this is an issue with the vanilla 2.6.6 sources this looks like an upstream bug, rather than something that is Gentoo-related.

Could you please try out development-sources-2.6.7, and if they do not solve the issue can you please file a bug with the upstream kernel developers at http://bugme.osdl.org? Thanks...
Comment 2 Gregg Casillo 2004-06-21 19:49:45 UTC 
I am having the same problem with 2.6.7 and 2.6.7-r3 of gentoo-dev-sources. A kernel panic that resembles this but prevents me from even booting. The last gentoo-dev-sources kernel I could boot with ACPI was 2.6.5-r1. I can stop this kernel panic and boot normally if I append "acpi=off" to the kernel line of my grub.conf.
Comment 3 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 20:34:22 UTC 
Ok, it sounds like this needs to be opened at bugzilla.kernel.org :)
Comment 4 Gregg Casillo 2004-07-26 14:35:12 UTC 
More information regarding ACPI preventing a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7 kernel from booting. I have several boxes with Pentium chips, most Pentium4. ACPI works in all of these boxes except the ones that have Intel 865PERL motherboards in them. So this problem appears to be isolated to only machines that have this motherboard. Maybe other mobos have the problem, but at home, I can enable ACPI in two computers. One has an Asus P4PE-X mobo; the other, an Intel 865GBF.
