Might be, but could also be, that it is because some other things crash, like 
memorymapping or whatever. And if this would be so, everyone without that 
card would have no prolems.

It might be a problem with the bcm43xx driver. Indeed, I experienced
several lockups with debian ppc on my ibook. The last message was
exactly the same as yours, where bcm43xx restarts the controller.

I'll have to try the beta drivers again as the last time, the one in
debian experimental didn't have the SMBus disabled which was causing a
freeze at boot [at least for me].

have you tried alt+sysreq ? Or even just the num lock key - does the light

I checked before: No ssh possible. The whole machine froze. 

I use proprietryry drivers (Nvidia and fglrx), but this seems not to be the 
reason (as other users confirmed).

Additionally: The machine also froze, when I had switched to console (CTRL 
+ALT + 2 for example). I suppose, thats makes no difference, as X is still 
running, does it ?

My machine just froze again ! I checked all, and again: No ssh possible, eben 
no ping-reply. 

Here is the last entry from /var/log/kern.log just before the crash and my 
next reboot (I had to hard reset). You can also see, how I start my machine.
Further on you can see, an APIC-error (I never tried starting with the 
option "noapic")
And you see the dbus-error.

I've tried nv, and even the framebuffer.  No difference.
Mind you, that was a while ago.  I'll have to try again.

hmmm... once I built the kernel module and installed it, it took about
2hrs before i got the first freeze... so it seems you won't have that
problem.

perhaps the problem only shows up in correlation with
linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64_2.6.18-3 ?

Re: Debian AMD64 freeze !

2006-10-28 Thread Pascal Giard

I also experienced those freezes.
I noticed it started when upgrading from nvidia's proprietary driver
8774 to 8776.

I've switched to "nv" 3 days ago and the problem went away.

Anyone else observed that?

If it seems to be the same problem, it could help if details were
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've found the keyboard still works to a limited extent.  If I have a
text tntry window open at the moment of freeze, it continues to accept
input.  If it's an open shell window. I can even execute commands.
But if anything happens to terminate input (such as hitting return on a
URL entry window in a browser) the freeze becomes complete.

I'm not sure whether it is still possible to ssh in from another system
when it freezes.  IN any case when it was possible, it was too slow to
be usable (keypress echo in excess of 15 seconds, protocol delays enough
to time out during initial connection)

My workaround has been to use Ubuntu dapper drake.  But all the other
systems on my network use Debian, so it's an anomaly.

I don't recall ever getting a freeze when no one was using the machine
(except as a file server).

I've had this same behaviour recently as well; seems to happen with the X 
sleep function (amdx2 m2pv-vm)...  (I also tried to login with ssh. pings but 
connection is refused)  I thought it was an upgrade to xorg 7.1. 
that did it.  I've downgraded to 7.0 and it hasn't happened now for about 2 
days.

Could you try opening your sshd server and try to connect to the frozen
machine when that happens? It would rule out kernel problems and it would
concentrate the problem on X. Do you use proprietary drivers? That might
be another issue: try using only Xorg drivers.

Debian AMD64 freeze !

2006-10-28 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Dear maintainers,

somebody wrote about Debian AMD64 complete freeze. Yes, I can confirm this 
behaviour ! 

This is what I watched:

During normal working, everything froze: mouse, keyboard, window, everything. 
Even, when I watched a movie, this happened twice. This behaviour is similar 
to BUG#379480.  

But what is more important: This behaviour is on my 32-bit-machine, too !

And both machines do have differnent hardware: 

32-bit computer with AMD Athlon XP and Nvidia-Card, the
64-bit computer with AMD64 Turion and ATI-Card !

But both use kernel 2.6.18 ! On 32-bit the Debian-original-kernel, on 64-Bit a 
selfcompiled out of the Debian-sources.

O.k., I tested RAM on both = o.k.
I checked the logs, and I discovered this: 

Oct 28 19:45:29 protheus2 kernel: dbus-launch[2857]: segfault at 
 rip 2ba3403ed590 rsp 7fff6aa4d188 error 4

Maybe this is the reason, although these messages appear on kernel 2.6.17, 
too. On 2.6.17 everything went fine.

So, as both machines behave the same, I suppose a kernel problem.

And last but not least, another hint: The machines do freeze everytime, 
whenever no one worked on it, so, when there were no keyboard or other input.

I hope, my little desription will help to find the bug.

Best regards

Hans
