I got lockups 4 - 5 times in a row trying to build an XFree86 rpm, In X
or in console. I thought it cant be much worse, so I installed qq and
it seems like the HD ( /dev/hde ) work faster. Untaring a huge tar.gz or
a huge rpm used to result in "lost interrupt" or "dma timeout" with nj.
I tried to flash the bios with my ATI card plugged in, just to see what
happened. It didn't boot as said in the readme. The machine booted with
an S3 card installed and the ATI card still in the AGP slot. Then
I tried to build that rpm again and very soon got a lockup with this in
the log:
Feb 15 00:38:54 chris kernel: APIC error interrupt on CPU#0, should never
happen
.
Feb 15 00:38:54 chris kernel: ... APIC ESR0: 00000000
Feb 15 00:38:54 chris kernel: ... APIC ESR1: 00000002
Feb 15 00:38:54 chris kernel: ... bit 1: APIC Receive CS Error (hw
problem).
After reboot it was possible to build that rpm and a couple of other rpms.
I haven't seen any "lost interrupt" or "dma timeout" on yet. There were
no problems building an rpm during the updatedb cron job. A compile during
updatedb could result in a lockup before.
I think it works better.
