Description Andy Liebman 2012-05-16 00:27:42 CEST

I installed Mageia 2 RC 1 on the following hardware: 

Supermicro X8STE motherboard
Intel "Westmere" Xeon CPU W3680 CPU
WD 320 GB SATA OS drive
3x 3ware 9750 RAID cards

Used Grub bootloader (after failure with Lilo). 

On each boot, the OS text-portion of the boot hangs for a couple of minutes with the following message: 

"ERST:  Failed to get Error Log Address Range"

Eventually, the boot up continues and things run normally, but it definitely looks as if the OS has hung for a long time.

seems related to hardware according to http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/472974-opensuse-12-1-failed-get-error-log-address-range.html

Comment 2 Andy Liebman 2012-05-25 16:20:06 CEST

I should point out that with the same hardware, I am able to install and run: 

Mandriva 2010
Mandriva 2010.2
Mandriva 2011

without getting this error.  Also, I have compiled and run the 3.3 kernel on Mandriva 2010.2 on this same hardware without getting that error.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

This is still valid for the final release.

Version: Cauldron => 2

Comment 5 Sander Lepik 2012-06-02 15:46:33 CEST

Please install systemd-tools and run this command: systemd-analyze plot > ~/boot.svg and attach this file. Then we can see what is delaying the boot.

Closing for lack of answer and bug probably fixed in recent kernels.
