Fedora 13 kernel 2.6.34.6-47 crash

[jack7]

Computer crash after update kernel 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686
The keyboard leds are not responding after the crash.

My laptop is an Acer Extensa 5235 with 3Gb ram.

I tried to slow down the booting process, so I can see the full screen output. But just the last 50 rows are visible for me. Slowing down the screen output was not successful.

Below the /boot/grub/grub.conf file :

I'm not sure where the boot_delay must be placed. Maybe someone knows it?

Here the visible output : paginabouwer.nl/afbeeldingen/kernel_crash.jpg

Gives the image a solution?

Also I have read that a bios update might help. Is there a Linux tool to do that?

Installing the 52 kernel results also to a crash.

I don't know what to do right now.

flashrom is Linux/UNIX tool for flashing BIOS.

[jack7]

The bios is updated now, but the problem is as before.

Computer crashed again after update kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.
See picture paginabouwer.nl/afbeeldingen/kernel_crash_54.jpg

I still can't slowing down the screen output at booting. Someone knows how to do it right?

Can you scroll back with Shift+PageUp?
Right now it seems ACPI related, will it boot when you disable ACPI on kernel command line? (Hit 'e' key to edit at Grub screen and add acpi=off)
See attached file for ACPI fine tuning.

[jack7]

with acpi=off the kernel works fine. Thanks for that.

In the attached file I have read that the acpi is a Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
That should be possible, because the battery indicator does not working anymore.

I'll try to play with it.

[jack7]

I tried Shift+PageUp to scroll up, but the computer is after the crash only sensitive for a hard reset.

All possible acpi settings except 'off' are resulting in a crash..
( off | force | strict | noirq | rsdt | copy_dsdt )

Just saw that the wifi don't work with kernel 54.
Is acpi also managing wifi?

[Segfault]

Is acpi also managing wifi?

It shouldn't affect Wifi, but in real world anything is possible. Considering Wifi drivers should allow powersaving modes.
Probably this could be fixed by building custom kernel ... not exactly what Fedora users are supposed to do I guess ...
