Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I am wondering if maybe there are any lingering Athlon bugs in Kernel 2.4.14? I basically have a 33-node AMD Athlon Beowulf Cluster using the KT266 chipset. I compiled kernel 2.4.14 optimized for athlons. If I leave the computers up for several days, without fail random nodes in the beowulf start to drop like flies. Every other day, a different, random node will get those Aiiiee messages and complain about some virtual page request being invalid or somesuch, hanging the machine. I am sure all the machines have good hardware as we ran thorough tests on the machines using things like memtest86. I only started experiencing problems since upgrading the kernels from the stock redhat kernels that came with those machines. I haven't yet tried just compiling the kernel without the Athlon optimizations. I was wondering, though, if there are any known or suspected issues with Athlons and the latest kernel? Any help/advice/thoughts/even flames would be appreciated... :) -Calin - 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/
