Sorry something went wrong while posting... First i encountered bug 590437 bypassing this bug I installed my computer normally also it seemed. Whenever I work no matter what video driver I use the system freeze s up randomly. SSH still works when my computer is frozen but I cannot init 3 or reboot nor halt. In SSH i get loads of these messages: (using the nvidia driver) Message from syslogd@host at Jun 8 13:13:56 kernel:Stack: kernel:Call trace: kernel: <IRQ> kernel: <EOI> kernel:Code: e8 89 c0 0f b7 04 42 0f b7 c0 c3 89 d1 b8 00 00 00 00 39 96 84 02 00 00 76 11 48 8b 96 c0 02 00 00 89 c8 c1 e8 02 89 c0 8b 04 82 <f3> c3 39 96 90 02 00 00 76 0c 89 d2 48 8b 86 d8 02 00 00 88 0c I tried using the vesa driver (nomodeset, vga=0x31B) the nouveau driver and the rpmfusion nvidia driver. Same results. If I should provide anymore info I'll be happy to. ABRT detected the freeze and I send the bugs to kerneloops (using ABRT). It calls the bug: a soft lockup of CPU #n stuck for 61s! It seems I'm not able to find the adress where the bug is available. BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 61s!

This fixes freezes for some people using GF8600 video cards. Ivan you are a miracle worker! The system passed several youtube tests and is stable now for at least half an hour, since the bug occurs randomly I could be lucky, but I got a good feeling about this one. Will report back later. pcie_aspm=off really did the trick!!! Many thanks. Changing the bug name since we know what causes the bug. I think the bug should be named like "Enabled PCIe ASPM technology causes systems with PCIe GeForce 8+ freezes". There's several bugreports found by keyword "aspm" on Bugzilla. Do we need to start separate thread to put an accent on ASPM error? Ok, I changed the name. Please try 2.6.34.1-20 from koji which will disable ASPM if the motherboard does not support it. I was about to press save changes telling everything was fixed when my computer froze up after half an hour using 2.6.34.1-20.fc13.x86_64. without the pcie_aspm=off. Hence, this bug does not seem fixed with 2.6.34.1-20.fc13.x86_64. Another irritating thing using this kernel is that my external hard disks keep on swapping device name each boot (sdb1 becomes sdc1 and vice versa), but that is probably another bug if a bug at all... Remains a problem in fc14... Looks like nouveau should be disabling aspm on these adapters? I don't have this problem any more in Fedora 15, I have a new video-card, tough... So I don't know if the software is fixed, or the hardware is more compatible now... Old video card: nVidia GF8500 GT New video card: nVidia GT218 |
