Subject: Why is max_cstate=1 still needed?
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:18:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D7A1322.4050706@suse.cz> (raw)

Hello,

there are still reports against the latest kernels, that people need to
pass processor/intel_idle.max_cstate=1 to successfully boot the kernel.
The symptoms are always the same, until the parameter is specified OR
until the user presses a key, the system won't boot up.

This started to appear between 2.6.31 and 2.6.34 (possibly a 2.6.33
regression) and continues to be reported against the latest stable
2.6.37.3. For example:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15289
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579932
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673589
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675161

I see that there were some fixes in .38-rc in this bug report (they look
unrelated):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29992

Should they give .38-rc a try?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
--
