KP with kernel26-lqx 2.6.36.3-1
Hi, just posting here for posterity, already did at the AUR.
I know Damentz doesn't own this package but maybe he could give someone a jab about it. Just upgraded the lqx kernel for one of my Arch setups. I upgraded from 2.6.36.2-2 which worked very well. I didn't need to do anything with the pkgbuild and it built without incident but KPed on the first and all subsequent boots with: :: Code :: MP-BIOS bug:8281 timer not connected to IO-APIC
Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with APIC=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the noapic option. Which I haven't got around to yet. Back to top |

Ah, this must be some timing fixes I was suggested to merge to Zen. I'll remove them, they must be the culprit.
Look forward to the next patch, 36.3-2.patch... or 37.0-1.patch - whichever you find first. Back to top |

Just tried lqx 2.6.37-1 and it still KPs. I also have kernel26-ck 2.6.37-1 and kernel26-bfs 2.6.37-363.2 installed on the same setup and they built and run fine.
Same error as the OP. For what it's worth, 2.6.37.0-1 works fine on my Sid setups. Back to top |

Oh well, not sure what to say. My 2.6.37 patches are pretty vanilla in the sense that they don't touch the core of the kernel (scheduler / x86 or timer code). Maybe in time I'll figure out what's causing it or an official bug report will appear on the kernel bugzilla.

I don't know a lot about it but logically I would doubt if it's the patches themselves since the same kernel works fine with Debian. Anyway, thanks. I'll keep my eye on the AUR.
