[intel_extreme] crashes in init_overlay_registers

[Eddy]

Kernel Panic after the end of the boot sequence.
Configuration:
Motherboard: Shuttle SZ68R5
CPU: Core i7 2600K
RAM: 16GB
SSD: Corsair 240GB Force GT
Display: Dual 24" (1920x1200), one on DVI, the other on HDMI

Kernel Panic

[diver]

Try to enable ​Use fail-safe video mode. DVI is not yet supported, see #5221 and I think the same is true for HDMI.

[axeld]

The crash certainly has nothing to do with #5221, even if that one will probably finally prevent the driver to work as well.

[Eddy]

I have removed the intel_extreme driver. The kernel panic arises with a white line (boot from usb key). I have disabled my USB3 controller. The same kernel panic arises (white lines).

I assume this is not an intel_extreme issue. I will try to get a syslog for this and I will publish it if I succeed.

[Eddy]

I cannot get any syslog. The common/var/log directory is empty.

[diver]

Could you take a photo of KDL. Without intel_extreme driver it should be different from the attached one.

[Eddy]

KDL trace

[Eddy]

After compiling the latest version and removing the intel_extreme I finally get a KDL (before that I had a blue and white screen without text). So the file has been attached.

[umccullough]

Out of curiosity, does your machine complete a memtest86+ pass without issues?

[anevilyak]

Another question: are you able to type in KDL? If so, if you type reboot from there, and then enter the boot loader options (by holding left shift before the splash screen comes up), is there an option to view the previous syslog? If there is, it can also optionally be saved to a a fat32 usb stick, which might help shed a bit more light on what's actually going on here.

[Eddy]

I am unable to use my USB keyboard (no USB switch, directly connected on the back panel USB ports). The memtest86+ is in progress 46% and up to now everything is fine. As I cannot do anything whenever the KDL arise I have ordered an USB to RS32, a null modem cable and the RS232 extension of my shuttle. Hope to be able to solve those problems. I really want to see my computer running Haiku without emulation.

[diver]

You should be able to type using PS/2 keyboard.

Good, sounds like there's not likely a memory issue then (it will usually fail within the first couple tests)

Actually, I don't think that will work. In order to do serial log capture, you will need a real COM port on the motherboard in order to connect to a second computer. Using a USB adapter requires a driver that uses the USB stack to communicate with the device. The USB stack cannot actually run while in KDL (because KDL halts all execution of the OS, drivers, etc.), which is also basically why you're having issues with your keyboard.

If your computer has PS2 ports, then you should attempt to use a keyboard attached to that - if it does not, there are some options for having the BIOS take control back of the keyboard, but I think that only works when it is connected to a USB1.1 hub or something?

Unless I misunderstood - and you're just getting the USB->RS232 adapter for your second computer?

I now have a serial port on my computer (direct COM port extension)

Unfortunately, no PS2 port. i hope that the serial debug will be successful. Anyway do you know how to set it ? Is it part of the userbootscript? I know that there is a keyboard emulation via usb as long as the usb controller has not been initialized. But I did not deeply dig into the data sheet to check this.

The memtest86+ was successful.

On a nightly build, serial debug is enabled by default.

[Eddy]

I have finally received everything, so now a complete debug trace has been done. Hope this helps.

[diver]

BootLog.txt indicates that you still have intel_extreme driver. Could you get another bootlog without it?

Sorry for the mistake. I have removed the intel_extreme driver, but then I connect launch any command. The BootLog file has been updated.

As you appear to be building your own images, try the following:

In your UserBuildConfig, add the line:

AddFilesToHaikuImage system add-ons kernel debugger <kdebug>auto_stack_trace ;

Rebuild, then try again (with intel_extreme removed). With any luck that will at least get us a backtrace. In any event going off the tail end of the boot log, something appears to go wrong while initializing the PS2 subsystem.

I did it but there is no change in the trace. Just slight values. Check the second trace.

If both your keyboard and mouse are USB, you could hypothetically try removing /system/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers/ps2 and see if that gets you further or if that simply results in a panic elsewhere.

What I did was removing my keyboard and replacing it with another one. And it is working now. I have a Unicomp USB keyboard with the French keycap. I now changed for a playstation 2 American keyboard. Maybe later I will try to understand the reason this keyboard is not working.

[Eddy]

Thanks everybody for your help.

[Eddy]

Ok, so it worked once but after a reboot the same issue occurs again. So the keyboard is not the only cause. KDL arises after plugging/unplugging USB peripherals (hub from my monitors, mouse not being recognized).

[korli]

Could you please check with a current revision and provide a syslog? Thanks!

syslog from December 2nd 2013

Sorry for taking so long login/password issues. I have just uploaded the latest syslog.

No crash in this syslog. Did you force vesa or anything?

Yes, I have to force Vesa because of a sandybridge desktop computer. But before, even the keyboard was leading to a system crash which is not the case anymore (usb drivers might have improved).

Can you attach a syslog without force vesa? or the result is the same as IMG_0003.jpg​?

I have just saved the serial debug. The fact is I no more have a KDL, instead both my monitors loses the synchro as the intel driver only support integrated display (notebook compatibility only.

[Eddy]

Serial debug, nothing is disabled.

I'd suggest to close this bug report then.
