Description Gene Czarcinski 2001-02-11 00:04:13 UTC
/var/log/messages is filling with messages:

 kernel: [drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] *ERROR* r128_do_wait_for_fifo failed!

video card is an ATI Rage 128

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2001-02-12 06:47:48 UTC
Sent upstream, waiting for response.  Please attach Xserver log, messages
log, X configuration.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-03-09 16:32:38 UTC
Does this work with 4.0.2-0.11 or later?

Comment 4 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-09 21:02:59 UTC
OK, looks like it is fixed.  I installed XFree86-4.0.2-11.4.0 and the messages
stopped.

I am still getting an occational message "drm:-r128_init] *ERROR* Cannot
initialize agpgart module." but otherwise it lloks good.

If acceptable , close this as appropriate.

Comment 5 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-09 21:15:37 UTC
Oops ... I misspoke.

I had XFree86 4.0.2-11 installed and the error was not occuring.  I just
installed 4.0.2-11.4.0 and the origianl error message is back ("...wait for fifo").



Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-10 02:14:45 UTC
Try the latest release please - XFree86-4.0.2-12.1 out located at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/xfree86

Also, make sure you have Mesa-3.4-10 installed, and you're using the
latest rawhide kernel.  You MUST use the latest kernel to get the r128
kernel fix.  If that doesn't work, please submit new log attachments,
and configs as well, and reopen the bug.

Comment 7 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-10 18:16:14 UTC
XFree86 4.0.2-12.1 and Mesa 3.4-10 now installed.

Problem is still there

Comment 9 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-10 18:35:17 UTC
Oops.  I missed the fact that I need to upgrade the kernel too.  Unfortunately,
rawhide on the ftp beta site is missing the kernel-smp for i686.  Since I do not
feel like rebuilding the kernel rpm right now, I will give the i586 package a try.

Comment 10 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-10 19:13:11 UTC
OK, I am running kernel-smp-242-0.1.25 (i586 rather than my usual i686) and
modutils-2.4.2-5.

Problem is still there.

I will attach the log and the/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 files.  Anything else?

Fixed in 4.0.2a-1 in Rawhide

Comment 14 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-16 17:25:49 UTC
OK, I installed XFree86-4.0.2a-1 from the mharris directory on people.redhat.com
(and MEsa 3.4-12 from rawhide on the beta ftp).

Problem not fixed unfortunately.  I am still getting the messages in the log.

As before, this is running kernel-smp-2.4.2-0.1.25.

The XF86Config-4 has not changed.  I will attach the log.

Comment 16 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-17 19:52:17 UTC
Boy, this one is really puzzling..  Can you run the following commands and
include file attachments of each of their outputs please?

rpm -qa | sort > installed-packages.txt
uname -a
lspci -vn
lspci -v

This _might_ be an smp specific issue.


Comment 17 Gene Czarcinski 2001-03-17 21:19:48 UTC
I don't believe it is smp related.  I previously ran it with my up kernel and
still got the messages (the MB is still smp naturally).  I just ran it again and
still messages.  I did not run it long be did get the messages.  I notice that
lots of these messages occur in the middle of the night when xscreensaver is
running.

Attachments follow.

Ok, thanks for all the info.  My 4.0.3-1 release contains a patch for
this bug now.  Please try it out as it appears to solve the problem
during my testing.

XFree86-4.0.3-1 and Mesa-3.4-13 at ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris

Comment 33 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-04-01 17:43:09 UTC
I, see bug 28987, see this messages with Athlon-750 with Rage 128 *PF*. 
Reducing color depth tp 16bpp didn't solve the problem, but messages are more 
rare: on X start-up, and once each time I run 3d screensaver. The do appear 
harmless though. I'll attack my logs later today.

This is still occuring on 7.1 Gold.  Do you still need additional information?

Comment 39 Mike A. Harris 2001-05-15 09:50:08 UTC
Ok, it looks like our kernel was missing an additional patch that caused
several people to still experience this.  It is added into our current
kernel builds and will be released as an errata sometime in the near
future.

Comment 40 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-05-16 06:55:44 UTC
Yes, kernel 2.4.3-5.i686 from rawhide fixed that for me.
