[gentoo-user] System crash when switching off an usb2 dvd writer, help !
I have an external dvdwriter (nec 3500a) in a 3,5" usb2 external rack. It works flawlessly : I can burn cd/dvd without any problems. But when I switch it off, or unplug it, gentoo freezes : when under kde, the programs stops responding, and after few seconds, the mouse stop moving too. There's nothing in /var/log/kernel, and I don't know what to do. I have an up to date gentoo, using 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas ? Thanks ! Gael Beaudoin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Not quite so, as it will not utilize anything save jumps. Jumps won't
generate much heat in any CPU, altough ps will show 100% CPU usage. If
you really want to test for heat, install GIMPS Mersenne client from
www.mersenne.org (no Gentoo package available). You can set the client
for system benchmarking only, if you're not interested in joining the
prime searching project.
Note that some errors, like memory errors, can take a long time to be
noticed. Leave the client running for at least a week to see if your
memory is OK. GIMPS can detect memory errors which are unnoticed by
memtest86 binary.

Seems like a lot of work... if you just want to peg your CPU for a heat

RE: [gentoo-user] System crash
Just a thought, but you said it was a compaq laptop. I have a compaq laptop of a similar vintage, and it uses the ATI IGP Radeon chipset. I haven't updated it for a while, but I got a lot of random system freezes caused by the IGP south/north (can't remember which one is which, i'm not that techie) not being supported by the kernel. It does it's best, but fails occasionally and apparently at random (random crashes never are random, they just appear that way). That is on 2.4.X series kernels. There may be support for it now though. > -Original Message- > From: Chris I [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 29 September 2003 02:16 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] System crash > > > On 2003.09.28 18:42, Norbert Kamenicky wrote: > > SMS WebMaster wrote: > > > >> BTW: can the problem become from my video card (ATI Radeon 7500) > >> (Driver: radeon) ? > > > > For sure it's not driver problem ... > > I use Radeon 7500 (chip RV200 QW) 64MB DDRAM > > in DRI mode on more Linux PC's without any problem > > I'll second.

I just (I think) fixed the exact same problem on my computer. It's been running for several days now without a problem. Previously, Mozilla would suddenly crash, licq would crash rather quickly if I attempted to talk with it, X would suddenly crash (I'm looking at a console), the computer becomes unresponsive to keyboard and mouse, or the computer would spontaneously reboot. So, having removed the bad RAM, it only has 256MB instead of 512MB, but it doesn't crash. (It still did though when I removed the wrong one, leaving the defective one in.) -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] System crash
BTW: can the problem become from my video card (ATI Radeon 7500) (Driver: radeon) ? Because I remember before 1 year one I was using the driver VESA . and I just saw http://www.bityard.com/article.php?sid=443 : It's also worth mentioning that the support for the ATI Radeon chipset, while fairly complete, is also very new (as of XFree 4.20) and not as stable as I'd like. I've seen X crash out for no obvious reason twice in the last week. There are also little drawing glitches now and then. Hopefully all of this will improve as the driver matures. Meanwhile, I can live with it.

Yep, that sounds about right. When the processor overheats, it can't handle interrupts anymore (kybd, mouse), but the video card continues to display the last image presented. It was a few years ago, but that sounds like exactly what was happening to me. Next time it happens, reboot into bios settings and look around for the sensor readings. See what the cpu temp is. You also may want to look into lmsensors, it will report sensor readings while in linux. There is still the possibility it could be something else, but since it happened on three different distros under different circumstances, I'm going to lean towards processor overheat. Good luck with this one, hardware errors are a b*tch, and usually end up costing money, especially on laptops. I sincerely hope it's something else... Cooper. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
