Greetings,

I have:

Asus P4C800 Deluxe w/2.4GHz P4 (no HT and not 800Mhz bus)

Tried test8 and, now, test9 and both exhibit same problem.

The issue seems to be related to the PnPBIOS support under the Plug and 
Play Kconfig category.  When enabled I get a crash of the form:

Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay
PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...

If I remove the PNPBIOS option I get past this point.  I would be happy

happy to test any patches anyone may have for this issue.

Your stack pointer became misaligned.  I thought Manfred fixed that?
You don't have nmi_watchdog enabled on the kernel boot command line
do you?

I do not.  The command line, through grub after the kernel spec is, ro 
root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi

By the way I thought of some more information that may, or may not, 
matter in this case.  This is all based on RH90, upgraded based on the 
Documentation/Changes file of course, and I'm using gcc version  3.2.2 
200330222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5).

Thanks for the response,
Gary

Yes. The crash happens inside the BIOS itself, and the kernel doesn't 
really have any control over it. The most Adam could possibly do is to 
avoid calling the BIOS (or at least avoid _certain_ calls), but that would 
require knowing what it is that triggers it.

Has PnP support ever worked for you on this board? Sometimes the solution 
is to just say "it's dead, Jim", and just not enable it. There are few 
enough systems that actually want PnP.

Adam, any ideas?

I fixed the double-oops caused by misaligned stack pointers, and the 
oops if kmem_cache_alloc is called with an misaligned stack pointer.
In this case it seem to be an oops in the bios itself.

Gary: did it work with 2.4? Are there any bios upgrades you could try? 
My guess is that the bios is just buggy.

One of the most common triggers is requesting for the dynamic (currently
assigned) resource information.  This tends to happen with particular device
nodes, from what I've seen typically the mouse controller, but I don't have a
large enough sample space to make a generalization.  I've made some
modifications to the PnPBIOS call function in the past and they seem to solve
this problem for many of the buggy systems.

I've included a patch that encourages the PnPBIOS to make more conservative
calls and it should help with situations such as this one.  I'd like to see a
dmi_scan for this system, if it is possible, so I can blacklist certain PnPBIOS
features on it.  I've also attached a patch that makes the pnpbios proc
interface an optional feature. The proc interface allows users to make PnPBIOS
calls without restrictions and as a result can cause problems on some buggy
systems. (one example is the recent ESCD problems posted on lkml)  Finally, the
Kconfig help has been updated to better reflect this viewpoint.

Please let me know if any of this helps.  I'd predict it will boot properly with
the first patch applied.

Thanks,
Adam

Sorry it took me so long to get back but work is taking up most of my 
free time as of late.  In any event, I applied the patch to a clean 
test9, enabled the PNP support and the PNPBios sub option.  I did not 
check the sub option, the creation of the /proc interface.   It still 
crashes by the way.  Here's the output.

I don't know if you need all of that again but I figured it couldn't 
hurt.  Some of the stuff looks different from before.  As far as the 
dmi_dump goes, I'm not certain what you want or how to get that.  The 
best I could find out that sounds reasonable is the dmidecode app.  I've 
attached the output of that command.  If this is not what you wanted 
please let me know how to get what you want and I'll strive to get it to 
you.

Thanks for looking into this,

Gary
