Re: [gentoo-user] a7n8x freezes with serial ata.
Is everyone sure that they don't have a cpu overheating problem? I have the -X version of the board (no serial ata), and have been very steady under load with improved cooling. I'm using sys-apps/xmbmon, which tells me I'm mostly below 50C. -- Stephen On Monday 15 September 2003 04:03 pm, Arlo wrote: thanks for the help.

[gentoo-user] a7n8x freezes with serial ata.
I have an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with built in Sil3112a serial ata controller and a Seagate Barracuda serial ata harddisk. I'm getting random, or semi-random system lockups. The lockups happen more when the system is under load. This is documented well on sites like http://www.nforcershq.com I also do not get a harddrive led (for activity). I have tried all the fixes I can find in the archives. the: echo max_kb_per_request:15 /proc/ide/hde/settings hdparm -X66 -d1 /dev/hde and I still get the lockups. All the discusion I can find about this issue is 2 months old did I miss the fix? I'm assumeing (hopeing) that this is going to be fixed or has been fixed in a new kernel. I'm using gs-sources 2.4.22_pre2. My questions are: If you have the same or similar settup to me how are you doing? How can I tell which version of the sil3112a driver the kernel I'm using has? If I can find a new sil3112 driver, can I patch the gs-sources kernel or do I have to go vanilla? Any good sites to find more info? thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] a7n8x freezes with serial ata.
Just copy your .config file from your old kernel directory into the ac-sources dir, and type make oldconfig at the prompt. This will only prompt you for new options. It's probably still advisable to go through the new kernel config anyway and make sure there's nothing out of order there. The usual warnings about making sure you have a backup kernel you can boot to if the new one doesn't work out apply of course :) Good luck! alan On Mon, Sep 15, 2003 at 03:31:42PM -0400, Arlo Clauser wrote: thanks for the help.

I've never yet used omake oldconfig without some of my settings being automagically changed! Always check the settings with a fine tooth comb.
