RE: [Asterisk-Users] NMI issues...

2005-02-01 Thread Christopher Slaght
I tried to get the TDM card to work in an IBM xSeries 350 700Mhz Zeon.
What I found was that the WCTDM card does not like the 64 bit slots.  If
you put the card in the 32-bit 33Mhz slot it works all day.  If you move
it into a 33Mhz/64-bit slot or 66 MHz/64-bit slot, as soon as you
modprobe wctdm, the NMI lights on the server light up and you have about
a minute before the server reboots itself.

I dont' think it's the digium hardware fault.  Why?  I've got probably
8-10 
machines like this and they all get occasional NMIs with the 'uhhuh' 
message.  It's defiently kernel related...hell these boards don't work 
under anything older than 2.4.27.

 http://www.3ware.com/kb/article.aspx?id=12435 ).  The following is a 
 list of the configuration and the issues I have encountered.  Any help

 would be greatly appreciated.

 System A:
 Intel SE7525GP2 motherboard.  Has BIOS revision 06, BMC 2.40 and
 FRUSDR 1.40 2x2.8GHz Xeon processors w/800Mhz FSB, actively cooled 
 retail box set 1GB of ECC registered DDR333 RAM, 2 DIMMs 3ware 9500 
 SATA Raid, controlling a 3-disk raid5 array 550 Watt 24-pin ATX power 
 supply

 System B:
 Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
 AMD Athlon XP 3200 (barton core)
 512 MB RAM
 ATI 9600SE OEM card
 200GB SATA drive

 Process is as follows:
 1.  On system A until further notice: The Intel SE7525GP2 conflicted
 with the firmware on the 3ware 9500 SATA RAID controller until BIOS 06

 was released. 2.  After having been flashed, Slackware 10.0 was then
 installed on it. It currently runs stock kernel 2.6.9, udev 042, and 
 the most recent hotplug from 2004-09-23.
 3.  Installed a digium-supplied X101P into the machine into a 32bit
PCI
 slot. 4.  Downloaded zaptel 1.0.3, compiled against kernel 2.6.9.
Upon
 modprobe wcfxo, NMI's are immediately reported (syslog to follow).
The
 instructions from README.udev were followed and parameters inserted
into
 the rules file for udev.  Problem occurs regardless of whether or not 
 hotplug inserts the modules or the are manually inserted by me.
Repeated
 modprobe -r wcfxo; modprobe wcfxo produces no different result as
well. 5.
  Attempted all combinations of moving the card to other compatible
slots,
 CVS zaptel from 2004-12-17, and the TDM04b card.  Snippet of syslog as
 follows:

  Attempted all combinations of moving the card to other compatible
slots,
 CVS zaptel from 2004-12-17, and the TDM04b card.  Snippet of syslog as
 follows:

 The NMI's will continue to report reasons 21  31 until the module is 
 removed from the kernel.

 6.  Attempted several kernel reconfigurations, including ones that 
 stripped out USB support and all SMP support.  Even on this machine 
 with a uniprocessor kernel, NMI was still generated. 7.  Took the 
 X100P and installed it in System B.  System B only reports:
 Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
 line 143: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl' Whenever I 
 check, /dev/zap/ctl does exist.  No NMI is generated on this machine, 
 though I do not know if it is capible of doing so.  Otherwise, it 
 appears to operate normally. 8.  Tried asterisklivecd that is 
 maintained by somebody in Italy. Actually got a freshmaker error on 
 that trial, though it appeared to be somewhat outdated.

 Just to anticipate questions, whenever the TDM04b was tested, the 
 power connector was in fact connected.  An Intel Etherexpress Pro 100 
 ethernet card was tested on Machine A to verify that there was no 
 problem with the slots.  The eepro100 initializes and operates 
 perfectly.  Attached to this email is a copy of the kernel's 
 configuration, and a list of currently loaded modules is as follows:

I sent the following email to this list last week:
A week or so ago I wrote about the problems I was having using a Digium TDM04B
card in a Dell PowerEdge 750 IU running Fedora Core 1. Digium steadfastly 
indicates
their card won't work in any PowerEdge 650, 700 and 750 series machines do 
(sic)
to a failure in interrupt handling between the pci bus and the card.

You are running into the same problem as I was.
As a followup: we returned the PowerEdge 750 to Dell and replaced it with a
brand new PowerEdge 1850. This has a different motherboard than the 750.
I installed the TDM04B and FC1. Although it's been less than 24 hours
running, the board works well and we can place calls out.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] NMI issues...

Hello everybody, i have found a message on the list regarding this
problem, i experienced this too, my machine show this on the kernel log:

Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31.
Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Do you have a strange power saving mode

Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21.
Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Jan 15 11:21:08 catwoman kernel: Do you have a strange power saving mode 
enabled?

and loops forever, i see some posts on the list and the solution was to
start linux with the parameter nmi_watchdog=1:

so put in lilo.conf:

append=nmi_watchdog=1

If i use the nmi_watchdog=0 the behavior was the normal, (a lot of output
on the console), with nmi_watchdog=1 the machine freeze, and with
nmi_watchdog=1 the asterisk is working, however there are still a lot of
nmi interrupts, but no log and it works anyway:

machines like this and they all get occasional NMIs with the 'uhhuh'

It currently runs stock kernel 2.6.9, udev 042, and the most recent

3.  Installed a digium-supplied X101P into the machine into a 32bit PCI
