Since this is my first post on this list, I would like to say hello to
everyone!
I am experiencing problems with a 2x dual core opteron servers. every
5-7 days the system hangs. while it still pings, it does not react on
console inputs, i can't login via ssh either. when that happens, the
only thing one can do is to reset the machine. there aren't any errors
logged.
i have checked the memory for errors, but it looks like it is ok.
I found a post on this list describing a problem which looks similar to
mine:
http://www.gatago.com/linux/kernel/13699679.html
as mentioned in the above post, a dmesg on my server also shows
following entries:
Allocating PCI resources starting at fb800000 (gap: fb000000:4780000)
Checking aperture...
CPU 0: aperture @ cc24000000 size 32 MB
Aperture from northbridge cpu 0 too small (32 MB)
No AGP bridge found
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM
Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 8000000

can those entries have anything to do with the system crashes, and if,
can booting with iommu=memaper=3 help to solve the problem?
i am running kernel 2.6.17.11, sarge amd64 , the system has 6GB RAM
i appreciate any suggestions :)

Your problem is that you have more than 4GB of RAM and not enough room
in your IOMMU aperature to handle all of the pending DMA requests.
Dmesg suggests you go into your BIOS and increase your AGP aperature
from 32M to 64M, did you try that?
Thanks,
Jon

thanks alot for your reply jon!
i should have mentioned that the mainboard has neither an agp slot nor
AGP aperature settings in the bios :(
the biggest problem i am facing is, that i always have to wait 5-7 days
until i see if the changes i made since i had to reboot the computer had
a positive effect (which unluckily never was the case until now) ;-)

The kernel ignores 32MB apertures anyways and creates its own 64MB aperture.
Normally IOMMU overflow should be handled without a hang though, assuming
you don't have a buggy driver. If you don't trust it you can
boot with iommu=panic panic=30 -- then the kernel will always panic
and reboot when this happens. The aperture can be also increased
with iommu=memaper=3 or 4
But it could be a lot of other things. So far you don't seem to have
any evidence that it's the IOMMU except for some likely misguided googling.
The usual way to check for unknown hangs is to just configure
serial console and see if there is some output during the hang.
Also do a memtest86 for at least 12hours.
