I dug through the archives and found peopel with similiar problems to
what I am experiencing, but I didn't find any answers that have worked
for me. Here are the problem I am having:
1: The built-in SCSI ROM is v2.01, there was mention of BIOS 1008 including
2.11. I applied the 1008 flash and I am still v2.01 (I don't know if
this matters at all)
2: Top doesn't work. I see all of my processes gaining CPU time, but none
show any percentage of CPU in top. When I *first* boot my system I see
percentages for a short time, then they degrade to 0.00%. I also see
0.00% of my CPU is in use (the very head of the top screen) 0.00% idle,
0.00% system, 0.00% nice, 0.00% user. Again, this works briefly after
a reboot. The suggestion I found was that this was fixed some time
after 3.1-STABLE. I am running 3.2-BETA from earlier today.
3: Performance. It seems after awhile my second CPU stops responding.
I run setiathome v1.1 and check the output of each, they start out in
sync, but eventually one of them stops doing work; yet it still
accumulates CPU time?!?
4: Responsiveness. It sucks. I am convinced this has to do with the
earlier problems... my processes get sent to the stuck CPU for awhile.
It also seems that the secondary CPU is running much cooler to the touch
than the first, this would seem to support the theory it is diong less
work, although it does have *slightly* better circulation.
Of course as I say this I cannot proove that one of the CPUs is stuck
(both my SETIs are in sync and staying that way). The system still
feels very much slower than it should, with long pauses often.
Below are my dmesg and config.
