Hello,
Three times since I upgraded to 2.4.3 and at least once in the 2.4.3-pre
series, my machine would completely lock hard. I've got KDB running on
a serial console (as I've been seeing lots of crashes, usually in the
scsi_eh_0 process) and even this fails to pick up anything wrong. It's
jus
Oh, I realize this. I don't mind and even expect the occational crash
right now in the 2.4.x series, but the frequency of these crashes fall
into the "frequent" category. I know that if I want a much more stable
system, I should go back to 2.2.19, but I'd prefer to stick it out with
2.4.x and he

hmmm... I've been trying to play with GRUB on my 2.4.2-pre4 system. For
safety's sake, I wanted to make a bookdisk with mkbootdisk. After
reading this, I see now why mkbootdisk was locking in the D state with
the loop mounted... Would this also explain not being able to seek
forward while writin
Excellent! Thanks, that worked.

Hello,
I've been experiencing some strange lock ups and I hope someone can
help. I don't remember exactly when they started, but I know it was
happening around the release of 2.4.0, possibly earlier with the test
2.4.0 kernels too. Around 2.4.0 time, I started patching in KDB to help
find the p
Hello,
I asked here about a week ago for help with debugging a random lock I've
been experiencing. With the help of Mr. Owens, I seem to have gotten a
bit further. (Long winded way of saying, "Sorry about the messy
looking, clueless debugging.")
I'm running 2.4.2 + KDB 1.8 on my SMP machine (2
i'm more than willing to help test patches and provide any more info to
people working on this, but i lack the low-level knowledge to actually
fix it.
thanks,
pete

well, i know there's a problem with the via apollo pro 133a chipset,
smp, apic, and usb. it looks like the usb driver (usb-uhci) doesn't
receive any interrupts if apic is enabled. if you disable apic from the
lilo prompt with "noapic", then it'll all work (of course, without
apic).
according
hen try to "ifconfig
del" it, i get "SIOCDIFADDR: Invalid argument". i've tried to del with

oo?
is it not bad enough that i spent the whole day frustrated, working with
this system? but then the computer had to keep making faces at me,
mocking me. *sigh* =;]

is be the
other way around? this would explain why the openbsd box doesn't
respond to the linux box's n.s. until it starts looking at all the

rom the linux box have the source mac address set to its mac address

Hello,
I'm running 2.4.2 with KDB patch on an SMP system. I have an Adaptec
2940 SCSI card that my CD burner is connected to. When this happened, I
was not using the CD at all. This is on a Tyan Tiger 133 motherboard
(with the Via Apollo Pro 133a chipset). I'm running with "noapic" due
to the
Well, I can't speak for the consequences of noapic (I've wondered as
much myself), but I know that there's been a problem with SMP 2.4
kernels (even the 2.4 test kernels) and USB running on VIA chipsets for
a while now. I'm told by the linux-usb maintainers that it's a problem
with the PCI IRQ ro

I use my Palm VX as a serial console on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and
Solaris. Just get a serial cable for your unit and some console program
such as pTelnet. The rest is quite simple. If you find something
different than pTelnet for console, please let me know as I find it
crashes too much.

Hello,
I'm currently running 2.4.3-pre4. (I tried 2.4.3-pre6, but it wouldn't

still a problem.

I had a similar problem with this yesterday. Try moving your .config
file to a safe place, making mrproper, then moving your .config back and
rebuilding. I did this and all was well.

Hello,
I'm still looking into this, but has anybody else seen this problem?

etc.) with my Epson 870 while it's hooked to my computer via USB, the
whole machine locks hard. If I change the connection over to a printer
cable on a
I think I've seen this same problem, at least with regards to USB
printing. Yesterday, I traced the problem down to a patch to usb-uhci.c
in the transition from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4. The problem persists today. A
work around for this problem is to use the alternate UHCI driver
(uhci.o).

Can anybody look into this or give me a good brain dump on how I can fix
it?
