Re: failure to start kernel k8-smp

2006-07-12 Thread Francesco Pietra
Sent again because there are two more kernels (k7) today and further problems 
arose with present kernel, as well as for a question on memories and a reply 
to what do you think.

Today
linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp
starts without, however, accepting the user password. To get that accepted, I 
had to launch from 
linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic #2 Mon Mar 20 10:43:41 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 Simple deduction indicates that your problem has three (3) possible root
 causes:

   [1] memory[leak?] 
Taking into account that the above k8-smp kernel failed to start a few days 
ago, and the systemcould be recovered with reinstall/install, followed 
yesterday by a breakdown while computing, and finally failure today to accept 
user password, my naive impression is that of a kernel to get free of. What 
about, instead of reinstall/install, carry out a purge/remove from this 
k8-smp kernel and reinstall it freshly by downloading it? If I had no adviser 
I would do that. AT ANY EVENT, is it any software to carry out an exhaustive 
check of the 8 slots of ECC memories? 

You appreciate that I can not rely on a system that works correctly for a few 
hours only, while Sarge does not support my hardware.

   [2] kernel
   [3] application

 IMHO, the simplest to change, and to test, is [2].

 What do you think?
Although it may be idiosyncratic, I am very uncomfortable at the /lib32 that 
the system insists to install even after a purge/remove from them.

I would prefer a system that allows to work with /lib64 only, thus excluding 
all that it is not ready for 64bit. I wonder also whether it is in the 
economy to bring to 64bit applications that run satisfactorily at 32bit, 
instead of concentrating efforts to make the system robust for 64bit.

What about BSD and Solaris from the latter viewpoit (and the point of view of 
the 265 amd64 dual opteron)? This question because my coworkers are pressing 
for my contribution. What I am aswering them today is that I am down but the 
problem may be simpler than it appears: simply a faulty installation of the 
kernel, one can not be recovered with
#apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp

..snip..

Aptitude will upgrade a kernel of the same revision in place (it will
replace 2.6.16-18 with 2.6.16-19) but when the kernel version is
upgraded (2.6.16 to 2.6.17), it adds the new kernel to the existing
kernel.  This is so that if you have problems with the new kernel, you
still have a working kernel on your box that you can go back to.  If you
are using any modules that are not part of the kernel (nvidia, ati,
etc.) you will have to rebuild those with your new kernel also.  Once
you have completed the transition to your new kernel, you have to
manually remove the previous one if you don't want it on your box any more.

Re: failure to start kernel k8-smp

2006-07-12 Thread Francesco Pietra
This sent-again to refer that I have examined the *.out file for the mpqc 
b3lyp MCSearch OO geometry optimization for the C22H25NO6 molekule.

max_iteration = 40 was felt, because the calculation went to iteration 13 
(converged at line optimization step 3), when the system crashed (kernel 
panic!) at iter 5 during iteration 14, with no sign of irregularity in the 
output file. It seems to me that this rules out any failure due to the 
application.

What remains open is:
---Check of the ECC 8GB memories (I don't know how in this sytem);
---Kernel failure (this is very likely the problem and I am waiting to know 
what to do: I am no more inclined to a purge and new install of the kernel 
because the existing alternative (generic kernel) seems also to deserve now 
little if any confidence.

I must add that with the equivalent k7 kernel for i386 32bit I never had 
problems.

failure to start kernel k8-smp

2006-07-11 Thread Francesco Pietra
The problems with 
linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp
on debian amd64 etch (if it is the kernel - which failed recently as reported 
below from previous mail - and not the running application) seem to have no 
end. After about 29 hours since the system was computing with mpqc 2.3.1, no 
gui, two 265 opterons, mainboard tyan S2895 K8WE, 8GB ram, temperature cpu 
ok, adsl cable disconnected (anyway, the installation is such that to get 
line, dhclient is needed) the system halted with:

Code: 44 8b 56 08 0f 95 c0 41 84 c7 0f 84 bd 00 00 00 49 63 c5 48
RIP 801ce768 {blk_rq_map_sg+75} RSP 8101444ffd38
0Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

The system did not respond and had to be switched off
It starts again correctly on the k8-smp kernel and responded to
#aptitude update (and upgrade,fo ex it has replaced libselinux1 libtasn1 mutt 
libcairo2 python-central menu 2.1.27) My sources are pure debian, see below.

A a dweller in scientific problems I am used to climb but if the system does 
not respond I am lost. Before restarting a calculation with mpqc I need to be 
sure that the OS is in order.

Thanks for your attention

 If I am not alone having problems, or the problems I reported seem to be 
 caused by the OS system, this is a situation to clarify. One does not come to 
 64bit to run applications that can be run at the same level of efficiency at 
 32bit (personally I'll never install such applications as kde gnome 
 openoffice, etc at 64bit, or 32bit chroots or ia386 (although lib32 are 
 installed by the system against my will!) as I have my old pc for that). One 
 comes to 64bit for the floating point and the precision.
 
 Until a clarification and a path to follow I must sadly say that I am stopped 
 with quantum mechanical calculations.

What do you get with the following?

COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | sed 's!^!!;s! .*$!!' | grep ^l

Simple deduction indicates that your problem has three (3) possible root
causes:

  [1] memory[leak?]
  [2] kernel
  [3] application

IMHO, the simplest to change, and to test, is [2].

What do you think?

failure to start kernel k8-smp

Booting Debian GNU Linux kernel 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp  root (hd0,0)

It starts with the only other kernel available:
2.6.15-1-amd64-generic (the one used for the installation)

? It is debian amd64 etch, raid1 two 264 dual opteron 8 GB ram.

failure to start kernel k8-smp

2006-07-07 Thread Francesco Pietra
Sent again to inform that the kernel problem was resolved with
#apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp
(need to get 0/15.4 MB of archives)
#aptitude shows the same kernels as below.

Although remedied, any guess at that failure?

Also, I am still curious about the large number of lib32 introduced, as from 
my previous mail.

Thank you
francesco
