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

Mon Sep 24 17:02:56 UTC 2012

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?  Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both
the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-
upstream-testing' tag.  Please only remove that one tag and leave the
other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next
to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the
'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.  
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

  failed to boot

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.
