[Bug 926012] Re: With a -pae kernel, freeze during boot when wistron_btns loaded

 

Jani Uusitalo, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

- With the recent Precise kernels (at least 3.2.0-[10-12] I think), the
- system freezes during boot with the Ubuntu logo and colored dots on
- screen (the dots stop progressing), when I have wistron_btns enabled in
- /etc/modules. I need wistron_btns on this laptop for the wireless to
- work, which is why I'd like to have it enabled.
+ With my Amilo M7400 and the recent Precise kernels (at least
+ 3.2.0-[10-12] I think), the system freezes during boot with the Ubuntu
+ logo and colored dots on screen (the dots stop progressing), when I have
+ wistron_btns enabled in /etc/modules. I need wistron_btns on this laptop

  This is unrelated to Bug #926007 which I also just filed: the
  wistron_btns freeze happens even when I'm using fbdev. (With -intel, the
  #926007 panic and this freeze take turns in who gets to mess with me.)
  
  From what I've gathered so far, it seems that wistron_btns works fine if
  I manually modprobe it from my desktop, after booting without it. So
  that's a workaround at least.
  
  I can kill the freeze with Alt+PrtSc+REISUB. I'll provide any additional
  info needed, though I don't know how to produce logs when the system is
  frozen.
