 |
|
I'm getting a problem when trying to boot 2004.2 amd64 witha custom kernel. I followed the install guide pretty much exactly and the following is the error I'm getting:
| Code: |
CPU0: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ stepping 08
per-cpu timeslice cutoff: 511.81 usecs.
task migration cache decay timeout: 1 msecs.
Only one processor found.
ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs
..TIMER: vector=0x31 pin1=2 pin2=-1
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed.
timer doesn't work through IO-APIC - disabling NMI Watchdog!
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
Kernel panic: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! pester mingo@redhat.com
|
and it freezes at that.
any ideas what's causing or a fix?

looks like no solution anywhere on the 'internet', so i guess i just reboot, reformat and retry. hopefully it doesn't come back
the weird thing is that it booted up once, and i had to change a grub.conf line and rebooted and i got this... but i changed it back and still wouldn't work.
weird indeed

ok it's definitely not in 'make menuconfig' so i found 3 options in the .config file. i edit them manually:
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
i commented all of those lines, then run "make && make modules_install" and i look at the .config and they're uncommented... what the hell

Its required by another option thats activated then. You could try deleting the .config file, then run menuconfig and stick to the defualt config, besides drivers, FS and processor type and other stuff you need. See if its different. It could be that you need it for the AMD64, I have no experience so...
But what about the HPET timer? Its sopposed to be in processor type and features as well. Another idea is to try a different kernel. What version are you using right now?
Finally you should try pestering mingo@redhat.com, they might know whats going on. |

to be honest i'm not 100% sure what I did, i didn't control the variables very well.
i changed a bunch of settings in that section of menuconfig... and it worked
