Logn pause during boot - sp5100-tco

Postby MrTempleDene » Sep 9th, '23, 19:12

Just upgraded to Mageia 9, love it

But when my system boots it pauses for approximately 2 minutes on this line

Code: Select all
sp5100-tco: Failed to reserve MMIO or alternate MMIO region


On googling this I found some suggestions to blacklist sp5100-tco in /etc/modprobe.d/sp5100_tco.conf but I don't have that file to add to and I'm not confident to go ahead and create it without some advice

Of course there may be a better solution.

You can just create it. You could also add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf - does not really matter as long as it's somewhere below /etc/modprobe.d/ in a .conf file.

Also, could you post the output as root of
Code: Select all
journalctl -ab | grep -i tco

I blacklisted in blacklist-mga.conf with no success then tried creating sp5100_tco.conf and blacklisting in there with no success

I'm missing a step so back to google

Found references to /lib/modprobe.d so went there and added the blacklist to dist-blacklist.conf

This hasn't worked either

Unfortunately I have to go out for the evening now so I will come back to this tomorrow

Just to be sure, what did you add exactly? Also, you did reboot after blacklisting it, yes?

You can also try to disable watchdog / MMIO in your BIOS/UEFI. Also, what mainboard do you use, it's this one from your signature - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 ?

You could also add a full journal log after a fresh boot, maybe that line is not the culprit but just a red herring ... As root
Code: Select all
journalctl -ab > /tmp/journal.log
and later attach /tmp/journal.log here.
