[Bug 1055096] Re: SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use -> system failed to boot

Wed Oct 24 14:20:49 UTC 2012

Upgraded yesterday from 10.04 lts amd64 to 12.04 lts and 64 on my 5
years working perfectly system. I got everything well except the above
error, which appear at the splash screen before login - splash is non
graphical as I have installed ATI proprietary drivers, upgraded OK
during the advance to 12.04.

The error does not seem to couse any misbheaviour execpt from the CD
burner tray opens by itself after a minute or so after the boot, login
or not. Nothing hard, but still not a perfect system as it used to be...

  SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use -> system
  failed to boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am on Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit.

  This error occures the first time with a  fresh seted up dual boot
  solution with Ubuntu12.10 64bit , which provided the grub2 2.0
  bootloader which acting here.

  Scenario:

  First install Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit than install Ubuntu12.10
  Quantal 64bit to the same harddisk and use the grub2 2.0 bootloader
  from Quantal.

  -------------------------------------------

  On system start Ubuntu12.04 from grub2 2.0 bootloader menu the system was not able to start. 
  The console output during booting shows a "mmio adress is already in use". The Ubuntu12.04 system does not complete it's boot sequence and went back to grub2 2.0 bootmenu. A second try from there with the 12.04 system gave a successfull system start.

  An investigation in the kernel log of 12.04 shows:

  Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062901] SP5100 TCO timer: SP5100 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v0.01
  Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062970] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use

  --------------------------------------------

  Additional:

  A search on launchpad gives back

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/740011

  which also handeles boot problems with Natty. This one is marked as
  Fixed Released.

  --------------------------------------------

  Additional:

  Before setting up the dual boot solution  with Ubuntu12.10 Quantal
  64bit this error never occure on a pure 12.04 Precise 64bit solution.
