Kernel panic at boot - Gigabyte ga-q67m-d2h-b3

Hi
I am setting up server with:
Intel i5-2300
Gigabyte ga-q67m-d2h-b3
2 x 2GB Patriot DDR3

I can boot it only with acpi=off, I tried at first CentOS Linux, now I am trying on my favourite Arch Linux.

I get the same kernel panics as posted below, I tried already 2.6.38-ARCH, 2.6.39-1 from testing, 2.6.32-lts, 2.6.18 (stable kernel od CentOS).

Panic photo

Is there any significant BIOS switch I may have misconfigured? Or is there any way to boot with acpi?

The most significant ACPI relevant feature for me is power off, now when I halt the machine it stays powered and I have to manually switch it off. Is there any way to hack it for a meantime?

Any idea?

Perhaps you can find clues to your panic in the wiki..... kernel panics......

Hi,

I just bought that motherboard.
Same problem here.
I am using kernel 3.0.4 now, but i have to pass acpi=off to boot any linux kernel from at least 2.6.26 (I did not try any kernel older than a debian lenny install)

I managed to extract the DSDT table from a windows 7 install. I've got 24 errors on recompilation.

I found a thread about correcting the DSDT to allow OS X to boot :
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. … =0&start=0
I will try to use some of the DSDT corrected for OSX to see if it's better.

note: I have BIOS revision F2, i tried to update to F5 and stuck the motherboard. Now it's back from RMA, I will stick with that revision.

Hi,

it seems to be a common problem with gigabyte board and their acpi description tables.  Both gigabyte board i own, had similar issue until i updated bios to F4 or higher.
