 Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2004 4:10 pm Post subject: Complete system lockup at random times... --Solved. |
 |
|
Basically my problem is Gentoo will completly lockup at completly random stages, wether I'm in the terminal or under X, generally the lockups occur when emerging but I have also had a lockup copying files, booting, and loading gnome, I recently just finished reinstalling gentoo to get a clean start (my permisions were stuffed) however even under my old installation I would experience consistent lockups when emerging in an xterm (as long as I did it in the normal terminal rather than under X it would be fine).
I'm not using any unstable components im using vanilla 2.6.0 sources, and no masked packages, My partitions are all ext3 partitions (My previous installation was using JFS partitions), I haven't used any particularly aggresive optimisations....
| Code: |
-march=athlon-xp -O3 -funroll-loops -pipe
|
My system isn't overclocked and I have it setup to use the memory tunnings .etc. for optimal stability, I'm am using ultra-dma on my harddisks however I have the same problem when using dma and various safe optimisations.
My specs are:
Athlon-xp 2600+
1gb DDR 3200 ram (Using single data rate)
nForce2 based motherboard + 3com ethernet controller (Thankgod  )
Any help/suggestions would be apperciated and thankyou in advance.

My first hunch would be bad ram or screwed up power, (or overheating cpu?)

If you have an nForce2 and enable APIC (not ACPI) support in the kernel, you will often start getting frequent lockups. Turning APIC off should fix the problem (if this is what's causing it). Alternatively, there is a patch around for 2.6 kernels that seems to fix things. I can't find the patch itself atm, but it is included in love-sources if you want to try that instead.

Thanks wedge the APIC bit fits exactly with my kernel config, looks like I may start using love sources then
Edit: Decided against using love sources I'm now just passing noapic and nolapic on the boot command line  .

Sounds like it will fix my problem... exact same processor & mobo. The problem is that these lockups are relatively rare on my box, so it'll be kinda hard to test. Thanks!

It seems that I've hit a bit of a roadblock... when trying to compile the kernel without SMP:

mmmm not sure about ur prob tactless but if it is true that the problem has been patched in lovesources why not try that you should still be able to compile wtih SMP support .

Compilation error solved by upgrading to vanilla-2.4.23. SMP disabled, no sign of APIC left besides this line in .config:
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
Linux_logo does not report smp, nor does dmesg. Now lets see if this is stabler
