           Summary: Breezy Kernel 2.6.12 boot failure on JetWay A210GDMS-Pro
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: amd64
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mightyquinn at letterboxes.org
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


The Jetway A210GDMS-Pro is a Socket 939 Athlon 64 motherboard with the Radeon
XPress 200 chipset. Under hoary, this board ran reasonably well, but when I
tried to upgrade to Breezy (to fix a few unrelated issues), I was unable to get
it to boot. Behavior is exactly the same whether it's a generic or k8-smp kernel.

With no special parameters, the 2.6.12 kernel is unable to make it past the PS/2
Keyboard initialization. With 'noapic nolapic' appended to the kernel command
line, it makes it a little further, past the disk initialization, and hangs up
on loading my USB mouse unless pci=routeirq is passed. However, this is as far
as I am able to get it to proceed. (So, it seems to go IDE disks, SATA disks,
USB device, hangup).

It's still in the initramfs as this is happening, so I'm not sure what the best
way of getting any sort of debugging output would be. The 2.6.10 kernel left
over from Hoary still boots fine, without any extra boot parameters.


If it's of any interest, this is a fairly minimal system, with these parts:
A210GDMS-Pro motherboard
Athlon 64 X2 3800
2GB Ram
1 standard IDE DVD-RW drive
1 Serial-ATA hard disk
PS/2 Keyboard
USB mouse
