It's unlikely, though not impossible, that this is the actual cause of the fault. Please also attach the Xorg.0.log from the failure case.
Mike, Can you see this BZ? If so, can you respond to his request? George
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Mike, Can you see this BZ? If so, can you respond to his request? Hi, Yes, I can and will gather this up as soon as practical. Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike, could you please add info requested by Adam? Since we have no Tesla GPU's in-house, will SGI be able to check HW enablement? May I add OtherQA keyword?
I'm running linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 and have not been able to reproduce the problem. I'll keep checking to see how the problem disappeared.
That's very good to hear Mike, keep inform us please, thanks.
SGI -- Please provide an update. The Partner Code Submission Deadline for RHEL 6.2 is this Thu, 16-June.
If this is still an issue, please attach the information requested in comment #2.
Deleting Technical Notes. Clearly a mistake.
Deleted Technical Notes Contents. Old Contents: Mike, Can you see this BZ? If so, can you respond to his request? Hi, Yes, I can and will gather this up as soon as practical. Thanks, Mike
Closing this as it has not been seen in recent testing. George
