MNI occuring on a regular basis

2000-05-23 Thread Boaz Rymland

Hi all,

Lately, I installed a SBlive! on my machine at home. Since then, I'm
getting on a routine basis the following message at my "xconsole":
" Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue.
You probably have hardware problem with your RAM chips"

O.K., i've made a little research before I wrote this one. This is
shortly what i've fished:
NMI is "Non Maskable Interrupt", which was used on older SIMM chips to
report that a parity problem has occurred in those RAM chips. It is also
used on some hardware to report something like - going into power saving
mode, or similar announcment.
This message is generated through the kernel (printk())

These messages appear usually when the system is idle, al least
partially idle.(as far as I could check it) . One thing's for sure -
when the system is idle, and i wake it up - there's always a queue of
messages in my xconsole reported at intervals of 3-4 minutes.

Does anyone have an idea of what could it be ? my DIMM (and its DIMM,
not SIMM...) ram wasn't changed lately, and my SBlive doesn't have
detachable RAM chips on it. 
Could it be that my SBlive internal RAM chips are defected, or is it
reporting those messages with regard to some power saving mode its going
into ?
Can it be anything else anyway ?

TIA,
Boaz.


below are some quotes of info I got from the web:
==
 NMI is the Non-Maskable Interrupt.   Back in the days when most PCs
 included parity memory this interrupt was used to signal a memory
 parity fault or other serious problem, but the interrupt service
 routine would identify the problem.  I don't know what it might be
 used for nowadays or why the reason for it remains unidentified.



That depends what the NMI is triggered by.
The usual use for that signal was to signal a parity error on
with-parity RAM, and if that's what's happening, then there are
basically two cures:

1. Configure your system to say that it's using no-parity RAM.

2. Replace the no-parity SIMM(s) with with-parity SIMM(s).

On some systems with APM (Advanced Power Management) features, NMI is
used to signal that the system is going into or coming out of power
saving mode, in which case the above won't help. You'd need to look at
the kernel power saving settings or tweak your hardware settings to
not use power saving mode in this case...

Hi Erez,

If you have the CPAN module installed, do
perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then type 'h' and enter. 
If you have internet connection, this is all you need to update your perl
modules and distribution. Read the online help.

(thanks to Gaal Yahas)

You really want to use Perl's mechanisms for packages more than RPM.

What kind of troubles do you get with "perl -MCPAN -e 'install ...'"?

2000-05-23 Thread Lev Olshvang


   Hello gurus !


I am looking for some semapore monitoring tool.

I know ipcs command, but it doesn`t help me to find out
process - semapore asociation.
I understand that kernel debugging can help in this issue, but may be

And the same question concerning threads - does anybody knows thread
monitoring tool -like top ?

Hi guys.

I got a little problem with the AT command.
When I schedule a command for the next few minutes it works great, but
when I schedule
it for an hour later it doesn't work.
My guess is that it's because of the APM Daemon. I think that after the
apmd turns of my screen the commands won't run.
Any way to get around it?

Looks like one of them weeks, can't get one thing right the first shot :-/

As a good fellow noted, the above will not work. You should use this:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install qw(Digest::MD5   MIME::Base64  Bundle::libnet
   HTML::Parser  URI   Bundle::LWP)'

instead.

If you cannot go ISDN (like me), Dynamode is fine. I'm using their 56K ISA model
with SuSE 6.3
and wvdial. It works fine.
