Hopefully gmail will send as plain/text this time. Ingo CC'd on the version with the text/html subpart (sorry). I've just stuck up the relevant stuff on my little webserver at: http://66.93.162.103/~rcrocomb/lkml/ The files are: config_2.6.17-rt8_local_00 config_2.6.17-rt8_local_01 dmesg_2.6.17-rt8_local_00_00 linux_version_info output_from_lspci scooter_log which should largely be self-explanatory, I think. The local_00 kernel does not have much in the way of debugging info turned on, because I was hoping for peak performance. local_01 has a bunch more debug widgets enabled: +CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y +CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACE=y +CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y +CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y +CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO=y +CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y +CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG=y in the hope of providing better/more info. The machine is 'scooter', and scooter_log is the dump from 'cu' on another machine. I decided not to trim anything, since I wasn't sure what might/might not be relevant. Note that at first we were running with the nvidia kernel module, but removed that later (scooter_log6 line 7142 or therebouts) so as to test with an untainted kernel. I wasn't sure if the problems w/ the module would be of interest or not. I can pretty much guarantee problems with a kernel compile or two in parallel. The machine is built around the new IWill H8502 motherboard. It's a 4-way 2.8GHz Opteron machine with 8GB of RAM and two 150GB SCSI disks in a RAID5 setup. The person doing development on this machine says the problems are basically constant. I am using a very similar machine, but with dual video cards and 32GB of RAM, and haven't experienced any problems. That machine, too, is using the nvidia module. Oh, the underlying distribution is Fedora Core 5. I'll be glad to provide other info/run any patches/etc. Thanks. Oh, I'm not lkml subscribed, so please CC. -- Robert Crocombe rcrocomb@gmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
