It always happens when I compile MPlayer. It was always cc1, but yasm 
once.

I'll see what I can do. I'm compiling with -j3, so it's hard to see 
before the kernel reports it.

 Hmm, this says that gcc gets stuck at some point. Is this always 
 reproducible on 3.7?

It always happens when I compile MPlayer. It was always cc1, but yasm 
once.

 What about using another version of gcc, can you repro it then too?

 It would be interesting to know where all those cc1 processes get 
 stuck.
 Can you break into them with gdb and dump the code around RIP 
 everytime those tasks gets stuck? Try doing a couple of them to see 
 whether it is repeatable.

I'll see what I can do. I'm compiling with -j3, so it's hard to see

I now compiled built-in with debug enabled and got the same

I just replaced my Matrox G400 with a Jetway Radeon 9600LE 
(256Mb). If I run 'modprobe radeonfb', the monitor blanks out 
and the power on light keeps flashing.

What may be wrong ? Using 2.6.11.

Do you have a way to capture the dmesg log produced ?
These are the lines before I have to use SysRq.

BTW, I don't know if it could be related, but my motherboard 
only supports AGP 4x.

Also, does it work if radeonfb is built-in ?
I'll try later. Time to sleep.

I hope not. I know at least my RAM is OK. I installed 256Mb
before booting with 2.4.4 and tested all with memtest86.

CVS couldn't remove mozilla/xpinstall/wizard/windows/nszip
after the process terminated, but
mozilla/xpinstall/wizard/windows/nszip/Entries and
mozilla/xpinstall/wizard/windows/nszip/Tag were updated after
the first EXT2-fs error messages.

Well, everything seems OK for now. Thanks.

 Since it is always the same inode, I would say it is corrupt.  You need to

Re: VIA IDE driver status ?

I'm not overclocking. It's an ASUS A7Pro with Athlon 1000. I

the processor died after my cooler failed for 20 minutes!

BTW, how do I know if my cable is ATA100/ATA66, not only ATA66

Re: 2.4.2 ext2 filesystem corruption ? (was 2.4.2: What happened ? (No such file or directory))

2001-03-05 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier

Maybe I should give details about my hardware. The system was
installed 5 months ago, and this is the first problem.

I used 2.2.16 stock Kernel from Slackware 7.1
2.2.17
2.2.18
2.4.0
2.4.1

And the only problem was with 2.4.2.

FYI, I'm not using hdparm or changing the BIOS to use UDMA 66.
It'd fail with 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 (CRC errors), so the setting
is AUTO and it's using UDMA 33.

And please note that this machine is fine, but I actually only
open 2 consoles and run GNU screen. No XFree86, and only a few
applications running.

If needed, my /var/log/dmesg is at
http://members.nbci.com/pervalidus/dmesg-2.4.2.txt

2.4.2 ext2 filesystem corruption ? (was 2.4.2: What happened ? (No such file or directory))

2001-03-05 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier

Hi. After a reboot I had to manually run fsck (sulogin from
sysinit script) since there were failures.

In my second (and problematic) boot with 2.4.2 I used the
option mount --bind in my sysinit script to mount the old /dev
in /dev-old before devfs was mounted, so I could get rid of all
entries that were still there (I removed most before building a
Kernel with devfs support).

For some reason I couldn't remove /dev-old/hdd2. It reported
can't state file. Note that I never used /dev/hdd*, since I
only use hda and hdc, but am sure it was OK with 2.4.0 (mc
reported an error when I accessed /dev-old, what never happened
before), the last time I used a Kernel without devfs support.

If you read my old thread, you should notice various
applications couldn't access (or rename ?) files. It happened
after ~8h of idle time. It was OK at 5:58, when I last ran cvs
and killed pppd, but failed at ~14:30, when multilog (from
daemontools) had to do something to a full dnscache log file (I
was online).

I'm not sure 2.4.2 is the culprit. I just hope it's the last
time. There were no errors when I first booted with this Kernel
(I was using 2.4.1), and my first uptime was ~6 days (~23 with
2.4.1). Also there were no errors when I booted 2.4.2 for the
second time.

BTW, /lost+found contains hdd2:

brw-r-1 root disk  22,  66 May  8  1995 #518878

The other partitions (/home/ftp/pub and /usr/local/src) have no
problems.

Re: 2.4.2 ext2 filesystem corruption ? (was 2.4.2: What happened ? (No such file or directory))

2001-03-05 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier

Maybe I should give details about my hardware. The system was
installed 5 months ago, and this is the first problem.

I used 2.2.16 stock Kernel from Slackware 7.1
2.2.17
2.2.18
2.4.0
2.4.1

And the only problem was with 2.4.2.

FYI, I'm not using hdparm or changing the BIOS to use UDMA 66.
It'd fail with 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 (CRC errors), so the setting
is AUTO and it's using UDMA 33.

And please note that this machine is fine, but I actually only
open 2 consoles and run GNU screen. No XFree86, and only a few
applications running.

If needed, my /var/log/dmesg is at
http://members.nbci.com/pervalidus/dmesg-2.4.2.txt

Oh my god. Are you sure it's a cable problem? I'm using the
cable shipped by ASUS with my K7V and have the same problem:

ide0: reset: success

Again, if it's really a cable problem, then ASUS is selling
cables that don't work with UDMA66 (but they sell it as
UDMA66).

I urge ASUS to explain this problem. If you do a search for
BadCRC at any lkml archive, you should notice most complaints
are from... VIA (and most seem to have an ASUS motherboard).

Why CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII by default?

From glibc 2.2.1 FAQ:

2.17.   I have /usr/include/net and /usr/include/scsi as symlinks
into my Linux source tree.  Is that wrong?

{PB} This was necessary for libc5, but is not correct when
using glibc. Including the kernel header files directly in user
programs usually does not work (see question 3.5). glibc
provides its own  and  header files to replace
them, and you may have to remove any symlink that you have in
place before you install glibc. However, /usr/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux should remain as they were.

Keith, are you saying that glibc is wrong?

3.5.On Linux I've got problems with the declarations in Linux
kernel headers.

{UD,AJ} On Linux, the use of kernel headers is reduced to the
minimum. This gives Linus the ability to change the headers
more freely. Also, user programs are now insulated from changes
in the size of kernel data structures.

For example, the sigset_t type is 32 or 64 bits wide in the
kernel. In glibc it is 1024 bits wide. This guarantees that
when the kernel gets a bigger sigset_t (for POSIX.1e realtime
support, say) user programs will not have to be recompiled.
Consult the header files for more information about the
changes.

Therefore you shouldn't include Linux kernel header files
directly if glibc has defined a replacement. Otherwise you
might get undefined results because of type conflicts.

But make install didn't create them. I built 2.2 and 2.2.1.

Not true. I'm pretty sure /dev/.devfsd is only created when you

2.2.1 was released after some days. Rebooting with this Kernel

started doing init 1 and umount / for half a year, then it
worked again (I don't know what changed, but I never edited the

Hmm, where? I don't see an (EXPERIMENTAL) in
Documentation/Configure.help:

USB Mass Storage support
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
Say Y here if you want to connect USB mass storage devices to your
computer's USB port.

This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called usb-storage.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.

USB Mass Storage verbose debug
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG
Say Y here in order to have the USB Mass Storage code generate
verbose debugging messages.

Maybe it's only enabled when you set CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL? I don't know, because I 
enabled
it to just set CONFIG_FB.

USB mass storage backport status?

2000-12-12 Thread Frédéric L . W . Meunier

What's the real status of the mass storage backport to 2.2.18?
Some people report it can corrupt your data, another that it
rebooted his computer while doing a large trasnfer, and so on.

If it's not good, shouldn't it be removed or labeled
DANGEROUS? BTW, where can I see a list of what's backported
and working without major problems?

No problem. So, it's a bug report instead. I have no clues,
and just thought it'd be a fix :)

Not sure if 2.2.17 reported the double %% from syslog. I
usually look at my dmesg.

Re: warning during make modules

Is this a 2.4.0 issue? Because I see the warnings on 2.2.18
too, and also building alsa-driver. I use modutils 2.3.22.
binutils 2.10.1.0.2. glibc 2.2.

2.2.17 reported the same, 2.4.0-test11 too (but I never ran
this one).

The compiler is egcs 1.1.2. gcc is a symlink to egcs-2.1.96.

SysRq behavior

2000-12-08 Thread Frédéric L . W . Meunier

I don't remember having the same problem months (6?) ago when
I built my first Kernel with this enabled (well, maybe I never
touched the key).

When built into the Kernel, by only pressing the
PrintScreen/SysRq the current application is terminated (tested
on a console and GNU screen). Is this just me or I should
expect it?

% calc
C-style arbitrary precision calculator (version 2.11.2t1.0)
Calc is open software. For license details type:  help
copyright
[Type "exit" to exit, or "help" for help.]

> zsh: quit

While running the application I press the key and you see the
result. It's very annoying because I accidentaly keep touching
it.

Kernel 2.2.17 on x86 (br-abnt2 keyboard, kbd 1.03). glibc 2.2,
but Kernel compiled with egcs 1.1.2.

The SysRq stuff works:

Interesting. On a Slackware 7.1 recently upgraded to glibc 2.2

requires this version) I get:
