When I am booting my new Gentoo system, the system locks during boot after "using anticipatory io scheduler..." The system required a hard reboot. Relevant info: kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r7 Stage 3 Install System: Athlon 800 Asus A7V Motherboard (w/ bios rev 1004d) 384 MB RAM I have tried switching to the deadline scheduler but that locks up also. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot gentoo with 2.6.7 kernel with a7v mobo Actual Results: System locks up after "using anticipatory io scheduler..." Expected Results: System should boot completely to login prompt kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r7 Stage 3 Install Athlon 800 Asus A7V Motherboard (w/ bios rev 1004d) 384 MB RAM
After advice for another bug, I can boot past this freeze if I disable the second IDE channel entirely.
Does this also happen on a stock kernel.org kernel with the same .config?
Yes, this also happens with the stock kernel and same .config.
Thanks, then this is a upstream bug, nothing we added in the gentoo kernel. Please go file this at bugzilla.kernel.org.
