I booted with noexec=off a couple of times with 3.2.0-24-pae, but it didn&#8217;t seem to change anything, i.e. the boot still (seemingly) froze when wistron_btns was enabled.<\/p>\n<p>I was unaware of fsam7400 prior to this, so I tried that too, instead of wistron_btns. With fsam7400, the -pae kernel boots fine here even without noexec=off, apart from a &#8221;Waiting for network&#8221; , and the wireless network never coming up (can&#8217;t bring it up from the desktop either). So here, at least, the noexec=off workaround isn&#8217;t needed with fsam7400, though it isn&#8217;t much good wrt the wireless either.<\/p>\n<p>To reiterate: the only way currently to have this system boot with the wireless working is to have wistron_btns enabled and to use a non-pae kernel.<\/p>\n<p>I should mention that I&#8217;ve upgraded the laptop to Quantal.<\/p>\n<p>I should also mention that Precise&#8217;s mainstream installation media refused to boot on the laptop. I believe the message was &#8221;This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae&#8221;. This despite the fact that the -pae kernels, once a system has been installed, *do* boot and work just fine, albeit not with wistron_btns loaded. So currently I&#8217;m unsure whether the CPU actually supports pae or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>noexec=off isn&#8217;t needed with fsam7400 here, though the wireless doesn&#8217;t work either. wistron_btns is unaffected by noexec=off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8860],"tags":[8896,27],"class_list":["post-3230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vianhallintajarjestelmat","tag-fujitsu-siemens","tag-linux","sijainti-launchpad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3230"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3234,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230\/revisions\/3234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/kommentit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
