smp on dell poweredge freeze: 5.4 p7

2005-09-23 Thread Rutger Bevaart

 So try to disable HTT in BIOS.
 on thing more, that hasn't never happent before updating to p7.

It could be minor updates to the scheduler, disksystem etc. which
triggers this error, but only appears as a result of two or more
factors, which weren't present before p7.

regards
Claus


We experience this problem on all 5.4 releases and occasionally on  
4.10 and 4.11. All systems are Dell 1750's. Looking at the changes  
present in p5, p6 and p7 it seems unlikely that that has caused it,  
but if you have found why this occurs please respond back to the  
list! If you do a serach for SMP and Dell you'll find my older posts  
as well...


Best of luck,
Rutger

What PowerEdge-model is it, dual or quad? If dual, did you try to
disable HTT in BIOS?

 poweredge 1850 bi cpu xeon 2.8
 what's the HTT

It's hyper-threading, the cpu have some extra registers, so the cpu
can get some more work done (in theory) during one cpu-cycle. But most
of the time the improved performance is neglible. If HTT is enabled
one cpu will show up as two logical cpu's.

So try to disable HTT in BIOS.

thanks a lot for answers,

in fact here's more informations

ACPI APIC Table: DELL   PE1750  
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1
cpu2 (AP): APIC ID:  6
cpu3 (AP): APIC ID:  7
ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 8
ioapic1: Changing APIC ID to 9
ioapic2: Changing APIC ID to 10


which mean HTT is enabled in bios... I'll take a look for that. I've to 
take out all my vpn connections !

 on thing more, that hasn't never happent before updating to p7.

It could be minor updates to the scheduler, disksystem etc. which
triggers this error, but only appears as a result of two or more
factors, which weren't present before p7.
