Subject: PnP BIOS + 2.4.9-ac16 = no boot
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 12:46:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010928124611.H21524@come.alcove-fr> (raw)
Hi,
When booting a 2.4.9-ac16 kernel on my Sony Vaio C1VE laptop
the boot process hangs with something like:
PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f8120
PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry ay f0000:b25f, dseg at 400
general protection fault: 0000
...
Code: Bad EIP value
Adding nobiospnp to the kernel boot line solves the problem. The last
-ac kernel I tried (2.4.9-ac10) does not need exhibit this problem.
Since this machine's BIOS is crap anyway (almost entirely ACPI -
APM suspend doesn't work etc), is it worth investigating this issue
or should I blame the BIOS structures once again ?
Thanks,
Stelian.
