Subject: sporadic oops and freeze when booting 2.6.39-2-amd64 on debian wheezy
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:04:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E208F59.7070003@tech-chat.de> (raw)

Dear kernel mailing list,

the boot process freezes sometimes(average once from 15 boots) since
2.6.39-2-amd64.

I have uploaded a kernel.log when the boot process freezes:
http://www.tech-chat.de/files/kern_failed.log

After waiting 15min I made a hard reset and this time the computer
booted successfully:
http://www.tech-chat.de/files/kern_working.log

I have cropped the date and made a diff with
awk 'BEGIN{FS="]"}{$1="";print $0}' kern_failed.log >
kern_failed_without_time.log
awk 'BEGIN{FS="]"}{$1="";print $0}' kern_working.log >
kern_working_without_time.log
diff -uN kern_failed_without_time.log kern_working_without_time.log>
diff.log

http://www.tech-chat.de/files/diff.log

Here some interessting parts from the diff.log

I think the BIOS reports sometimes bogus data?
The motherboard is a Asus M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 with BIOS 2101
(http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A89GTD_PROUSB3/#download)


This all leads finally to:

Jul 13 17:02:01 PhenomBabe kernel: [   13.137385] BUG: unable to handle
kernel paging request at ffffffff0a646ecf

Jul 13 17:02:01 PhenomBabe kernel: [   13.141181] Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP

Any hints on that or may I provide further data?

Please add me to CC if possible.

Thank you very much,
best regards Andy
