 Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2005 7:29 pm Post subject: My old IBM Thinkpad |
 |
|
Hello everybody!
I have installed gentoo on my old IBM Thinkpad (iSeries, with celeron cpu @ 366Mhz...).
At the boot I get the following message below (sorry for the long list):
This message repeats a few times before the boot process over, and the boot time is about ~8 minutes because of this. I have tried many times turning on / off things in the kernel config around drivers; ide-drivers; plug and play suport; dma.. etc... But nothing change for this. What else shall I try to set in the kernel-config?
Thank you for the help!

Can you manaully configure your IRQ's in the BIOS? Put all hardware on its own IRQ rather than share them if it is currently that way.

Also try enabling IO-APIC (if your system supports it - it won't harm if it's not supported, but it won't work either):
| Code: | Processor type and features --->
[*] Local APIC support on uniprocessors (NEW)
[*] IO-APIC support on uniprocessors |
Also you can try ACPI (among other things, it provides an alternate way to route interrupts, which may solve the problem). You need it configured in the kernel (it's under "Power management" - even if it does more than that), and it's always a good idea for notebooks.

Those messages indicate that some device is constantly asserting its interrupt line, and the kernel spends a lot of time processing all those (useless) interrupts. Look at "/proc/interrupts" after it finishes booting, you should have a lot of interrupts on IRQ15. |

Hello there!
Well... Tried those things above, but still has the problem. Unfortunately there is no way to change irqs in BIOS setup. IRQ15 belongs to ide1, and has 800000 interrupts in /proc/interrupts. Way too many... Tried that old cd driver in the kernel (for not atapi), but no effect. Anyway. I will keep trying.
Thank you for the helps! |

Hi,
I just had the same problem and solved it using 'irqpoll' when booting my kernel. This is what my 'grub.conf' looks like:
| Code: |
title Gentoo Linux [2.6.12-r10]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 irqpoll root=/dev/hda3

I've added acpi=off to kernel line and it worked in this ThinkPad R30 with ubutu 5.10  |

Thanks for the tip. I had the exact same problem with my old iSeries Thinkpad and acpi=off fixed it! Just for the record, I think this is a bug in the Thinkpad BIOS, not Linux; unfortunately, IBM/Lenovo hasn't released a BIOS update for my model since 2001.
