I am experiencing an interesting problem with a VIA Samuel (Cyrix III) 667 processor, on an M755LMR motherboard (GFXcel sis630e chipset) 64M ram. Unfortunately I don't have access to another socket370 mobo to test right now. Anyways, when left running over a 24 hour period, performance seriously degrades. This happens on both stock 2.2.19 (M586TSC) and 2.4.4 (MCYRIXIII) kernels. We have tested AMD's, PIII's and Celeron's all on the same board, same setup without a problem. using the byte nbench benchmark for example, when freshly booted the machine gets an integer index of 5.238, and a floating-point index of 2.307. After 24 hours, that integer index drops to 1.96, the floating point to 0.863. We first noticed the problem when testing network throughput, which drops similarly. A simple reboot (warm or cold) fixes the problem. No kernel error messages are appearing in the logs. I can't find any mention of this in the lkml archives. The cyrix howto seems horribly out of date. Is this a known problem? Something non-linux related? Any suggestions as to how I can start to debug this or narrow down the problem would be much appreciated. --- Aaron Barnes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
