Hello, I have troubles after upgrading to kernel 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 on all our Dell Optiplex 740 with Nvidia graphic card.
The system is very slow, mouse is hard to move and there is the ata/1 process which takes around 10% of the CPU. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 459 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 12 0.0 62:32.53 ata/1 They have nvidia-x11-drv - 180.22-1.0.x86_64 I tried to upgrade to nvidia-x11-drv - 195.36.24-1.0 but the server Xorg.0.log says : (EE) May 26 17:48:01 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the (EE) May 26 17:48:01 NVIDIA(0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and (EE) May 26 17:48:01 NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details. So I have to get back to Kernel 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 No problem so far on Optiplex 960 with the same Nvidia cards. Thanks for your help. -- Best regards, Robert FRANCHISSEUR ____ Apollo_gist :-)_______________________________________________ | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | | Boite 99 - 4, place Jussieu F-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | -------------------------------------------------------------------
