Hi list
I have a computer with Mandrake 6.1 (kernel 2.2.13).
I recently upgraded most of the hardware. Since then I started getting
messages (every couple of hours):
Mar 26 05:18:58 yarden kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 2c.
Mar 26 05:18:58 yarden kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Mar 26 05:18:58 yarden kernel: Do you have a strange power saving mode
enabled?
(sometimes I get reason 3c instead of reason 2c). This seems to be some
hardware problem, but I can't figure what spesific hadware. Spesifically -
what information can I get from the "reason"?
Furthermore the server crashed with no aparent reasonafter 3 days up. I
figure these two are somewhat related.
>From searching deja.com et al. and grepping the source I only realized
that NMIs are some sort of interrupts. I can see where they are handled,
but I have no idea who can initiate them.
Can anyone give me an idea?
BTW: the "upgrade" was actually taking the disk from the old machine and
puting it into a new machine. All reconfiguration I needed wasrecreating
/dev/cdrom and reconfiguring the network adapter with linuxconf.
Is there anything wrong with such a procedure?
The hardware:
6P2M810 MicroATX Main Board (i810 chipset)
CPU: celeron 466
64MB RAM (1 dimm, 100MHz)
CNet CN930E network adapter (uses realtek 8029, ne2k-pci.o)
/dev/hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A
TIA
