Description of problem: There is servers on INTEL motherboard STL2, 2xPIII 933 256mb ECC RAM. Really is working as a lan&wan router. Two ethernet connectors, first have real ip, second private. From second there's SNAT for one ip address through iptables. There is one dedicated ppp connect to remote private LAN. Actually there are some demons: ssh, pppd, zebra. The problem is when booting PC in SPM mode. After max 2-3 hours server's freeze and no anything console messeges. In one CPU mode no problems. SMP related options in kernel (noapic and etc.) don't help. With nmi_watchdog=1 console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200n8 i am have in console: EIP: 0010:[<c010ae30>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00000002 EIP is at handle_IRQ_event [kernel] 0x30 (2.4.20-13.8smp) eax: 00000001 ebx: c1afe240 ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000004 esi: 00000004 edi: 00000001 ebp: c1b0bd80 esp: c1b0bd3c ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process keventd (pid: 2, stackpage=c1b0b000) Stack: 00000000 00000000 00000000 c03a9a00 00000004 c1afe240 00000200 c010b099 00000004 c1b0bd80 c1afe240 00000001 0000002d 00000042 00000005 d08b7c88 c010dcc8 0000002d 0000736c d08b96bc 00000042 00000005 d08b7c88 00007396 Call Trace: [<c010b099>] do_IRQ [kernel] 0xa9 (0xc1b0bd58)) [<c010dcc8>] call_do_IRQ [kernel] 0x5 (0xc1b0bd7c)) [<d089ecce>] longest_match [zlib_deflate] 0xce (0xc1b0bda8)) [<d089f40e>] deflate_slow [zlib_deflate] 0xae (0xc1b0bde0)) [<d089e6ff>] zlib_deflate_Rsmp_28c35bd1 [zlib_deflate] 0xef (0xc1b0be08)) [<d08a5340>] z_compress [ppp_deflate] 0xc0 (0xc1b0be30)) [<d088f58b>] ppp_send_frame [ppp_generic] 0x17b (0xc1b0be4c)) [<c0204226>] __kfree_skb [kernel] 0x106 (0xc1b0be6c)) [<d088f38b>] ppp_xmit_process [ppp_generic] 0xdb (0xc1b0be80)) [<d088efa5>] ppp_start_xmit [ppp_generic] 0x105 (0xc1b0be98)) [<c0214404>] qdisc_restart [kernel] 0x74 (0xc1b0bec0)) [<c0208ea0>] net_tx_action [kernel] 0xc0 (0xc1b0bed8)) [<d0896c37>] ppp_async_send [ppp_async] 0x47 (0xc1b0bee0)) [<c0126129>] do_softirq [kernel] 0xd9 (0xc1b0bef4)) [<d0892ccd>] .text.lock.ppp_generic [ppp_generic] 0x222 (0xc1b0bf10)) [<d08965ae>] ppp_asynctty_wakeup [ppp_async] 0x5e (0xc1b0bf38)) [<c01a5108>] rs_flush_buffer [kernel] 0x78 (0xc1b0bf48)) [<c018ee91>] do_tty_hangup [kernel] 0x321 (0xc1b0bf5c)) [<c01265aa>] __run_task_queue [kernel] 0x6a (0xc1b0bf80)) [<c0130177>] context_thread [kernel] 0x147 (0xc1b0bf98)) [<c0130030>] context_thread [kernel] 0x0 (0xc1b0bfc8)) [<c0105000>] stext [kernel] 0x0 (0xc1b0bfe8)) [<c010758e>] arch_kernel_thread [kernel] 0x2e (0xc1b0bff0)) [<c0130030>] context_thread [kernel] 0x0 (0xc1b0bff8)) Code: f3 90 a1 a8 c8 3b c0 83 e0 01 75 f4 8b 43 04 be 01 00 00 00 console shuts up ...
