Description of problem:
My system (Athlon 2200 XP+, K7S5A mainboard) randomly freezes with the
FC2 Test1 kernel. Nothing interesting can be found in
/var/log/messages after the lock-up.

Any idea how to further debug this problem?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wait for system lock-ups
2.
3.

Comment 1 Sahil Verma 2004-03-17 00:30:12 UTC
Wild guesswork:

- boot with acpi=off
- Overclocked CPU? Does it get too hot? Power supply?
- get the latest BIOS from ECS

How often does it lockup - light load, heavy load or no load.

Post your dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo as attachments, maybe someone can
take a look.

Also upgrade to the latest kernel.

Comment 2 Bernd Bartmann 2004-03-23 21:14:01 UTC
I already tested with acpi=off and on. CPU is not overclocked.
Temparature is normal. Power supply is a 365W ENERMAX. BIOS is already
updated. Kernel is now 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.

The lockups do not depend on the load. It just locked up during
up2date. Yesterday I just left the system running idle for ~ 3 hours
and it locked again.

I'll attach /proc/cpuinfo, lspci -vv and dmesg output.

Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2004-03-25 09:08:29 UTC
are you actively using the firewire ?

Comment 7 Bernd Bartmann 2004-03-25 09:11:07 UTC
I have an external SONY Firewire DVD burner connected to the system,
but it always was switched off when the system hung.

Comment 8 Bernd Bartmann 2004-04-04 10:50:52 UTC
With FC2 Test2 the lockup problems are even worse. Now the system
locks up during install time randomly. I boot from CD#1 and install
via NFS.

Is there any way to debug this problem? Serial console? 

Comment 9 Sahil Verma 2004-04-05 01:07:14 UTC
Can you boot FC2 test 1 with i8142.noaux option?

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but you have two mice? Or a KVM?
Does it boot with only a PS/2 mouse?

Does pci=noacpi help?

Comment 10 Bernd Bartmann 2004-04-05 15:06:58 UTC
I'm now on FC2 Test 2. I'll try i8142.noaux option (BTW: What this
supposed to do?)

There is only one USB mouse connected to the system. No KVM switch.

I already tried all these acpi/apm options to no avail.

Comment 11 Sahil Verma 2004-04-05 17:26:06 UTC
Whoops, I must be blind, that's i8042.noaux.

Your dmesg says so, and from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:

'[HW] Don't check for auxiliary (== mouse) port'

Can you boot with a PS/2 mouse, instead of USB?

Comment 12 Bernd Bartmann 2004-04-07 15:01:19 UTC
Now with only a PS/2 mouse connected this system just locked up again.

Comment 13 Alan Cox 2004-05-03 20:59:49 UTC
Was the box stable with older Linux ?


Comment 14 Bernd Bartmann 2004-05-04 07:04:34 UTC
I had RHL9 on it and never had a problem with it. I didn't test FC1 on
this system.

Comment 15 Dave Jones 2004-06-14 23:35:38 UTC
how are things looking with the final release & update kernel ?
any improvement ?

Comment 16 Bernd Bartmann 2004-06-19 12:00:33 UTC
The system now runs kernel-2.6.6-1.435 and it looks like a really big
improvement compared to all the FC2-Test versions. I haven't seen a
lock-up yet since kernel-2.6.6-1.435 is out.

Comment 17 Arjan van de Ven 2004-06-19 12:17:44 UTC
ok time to close this out then...
