Re: [PLUG] BIOS EDD -- new install hangs

Mike,
When I first read your message I thought to respond but got sidetracked. 
Have you completely disabled power saving the bios? I've seen this sort 
of hang when the system is idle due to kernel not properly groking 
(grokking?) the power management.

If I do something like this:
perl -e '@f = <>; while (1) { sort @f; }' < /var/log/syslog
...the system does not freeze. As long as I can keep the processor tied up,
it keeps going. What could it be doing during idle time that causes it
to freeze?

I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu. Even during the initial install,
the system freezes after about 5 minutes of uptime. By repeated
attempts, I got the thing to install all the way, but it still freezes
after about 5 minutes. I can't find any log messages close to the time
of the freeze. I've tried a few kernel options (acpi=off, nolapic,
noapic), I've stabbed randomly at BIOS options, but nothing seems to
make any difference. Can anyone think of a reason why a system would
freeze after 5 minutes of doing nothing in particular? It even does it
in single-user mode, so I don't think it's X-related.

Is it stable if you run memtest86? That's about the simplest "OS" you
could try running.
Was the material you quoted (BIOS EDD problemy by C. Jones) or your
subject relevant to your question? I had trouble seeing the link
based on what you wrote.
