I didn't know that this was causing it. I changed the (default hard) to
soft mount and now it doesn't go wrong. best woul dbe to tell my
girlfriend not to reboot while nfs is active though :-)

Thanks anyways.

process table fills with DN state when nfs connection is lost

2001-06-10 Thread Roeland Th. Jansen

hi *

I have a network with a different linux system hat exports a few dirs to
this system.

what happens is this : the other system reboots into windows o the nfs
connection gets lost. however, what happens is that now the process
table starts to fill with cron initiated mrtg calls and all get the DN
state in ps aux.

now, the load goes up and when I came home it was at 144 already. I
stopped cron, unable to kill off the mrtg calls. I then re-established
the nfs connection by rebooting the windows back to linux; I then could
umount the nfs shares and guess what happened -- all DN processes went
ayway and the system load back to normal.

it seems that some things block in the kernel when the nfs stuff is
failed. is this right ? is my setup incorrect or what ?

2.4.4 and VC display lost

2001-05-26 Thread Roeland Th. Jansen

I have mentioned this weird behaviour under 2.4.3 as well.

if I use X for some time, I alwasy switch and forth between the (IMHO)
idel CLI and sometimes switch back to the clumsy GUI.

now, what happens is that sometimes, after I switch from X back to a VC,
the display gets black and stays that way.

the system works fine. I can still input everything I like etc but won't
see anything.

it's on all non graphic consoles and I can't recover without rebooting.

anyone an idea ? 

I am using X 4.02 (XFREE) on a riva TNT (viper 550); no special driver
used, only the one that's supplied with X itself.

2.4.2 ac2x & 2.4.3. loss of VC displays

hi all

regently I see weird things with X.

GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 GTS (rev 1), GeForce2 ultra, Quadro 2 Pro,
GeForce2 MX, GeForce2 MX DDR, Quadro 2 MXR, GeForce 2 Go
(--) Chipset RIVATNT found

this is a SuSE 7.0 std X thing. no specific NVIDIA obfuscated source
binary or something.

what happens is that after some time, I switch back & forth from and to
X. sometimes, most within a day of work, switching from X to a VC, the
VC's blank. it reacts to commands but display is blank.

I don't have special modules launched and no patches to the kernel
except the lm_sensors / i2c stuff. removed it for test and still
happens.

someone an idea ?

max ip_conntrack entries

is there a way to dynamically change the limit : kernel: ip_conntrack:
maximum limit of 16384 entries exceeded ?

grepping in the documentation didn't tell much here.

either a newssus scan or a weird ftp server I tried to connect to,
caused the table to fill pretty fast and all other connections stopped
for a short time.

the entries are similar btw in /proc/net/ip_conntrack :

tcp  6 425335 ESTABLISHED src=203.45.72.96 dst=203.45.72.96
sport=28480 dport=21 [UNREPLIED] src=203.45.72.96 dst=203.45.72.96
sport=21 dport=28480 use=1

the source and dest are always the same. weird. currently 15443

it seems like it is time to get at least the suggestions so far in the
mainstream kernel or at least in Alan's tree. (it's not clear if it has
been already included)

There are a few things that might be related though -- some slow network
performance but I am not sure if that is caused by the patch. I don't
think so but..; I also didn't hammer the whole day on sound to crash it.
typically, a flood ping, sound & backup --> crash within minutes and I
wanted to see how it performs (e.g. no crash) under normal loads. that
part succeeded.

if you like, I can start banging the machine on it's head now.

ok, so far so good.

 There is also an additional debugging/statistics counter provided in
 /proc/cpuinfo that counts interrupts which got delivered with its trigger
 mode mismatched.  Check it out to find if you get any misdelivered
 interrupts at all.

I missed this thread a bit but I also am experiencing problems when
using sound (playing mp3's) -- hard crashes. I am not sure wether it's X
related (xmms/X v4.0x), sound related (opensound drivers), hardware
related (dual BP6, non OC with apic patches).

could you mail privately what the issues are ? maybe I have the same
problems.

ok, Franks -- the deal -- I'll re-add the disable foxus stuff; Maciej's
latest apic patch keeps the system working for 2days+ and that  is much
better tahan before., it used to lock up within half a day.

ok. the conditions are this :


2.4.1 with your APIC patch & the sysrq-a addition.

the system doesn't lock up anymore with your patch as mentioned before.
what does happen is that the ne2k doesn't react anymore (eth0 dead).

I have sysrq'd twice. the first one is the one where it works, then,
after a floodping of only 5 seconds, eth0 stops working. the floodping
is generated from outside towards this machine. then again I sysrq'd/

ok, just loaded 2.4.1 again with Maciej's patch. works fine but here too
-- flood ping kills the ethernet stuff in a few seconds. in fact, within
approx 800 interrupts. the god news is that teh system stays alive, just
as with Alan's -ac1 version.

ok, here is the list

2.4.0 stock floodping received  crash
2.4.1 stock crash

2.4.1 + patch   ok, but ethernet dies
2.4.1-ac1   same

I'll try the suggestions you sent. regarding the esp -- iI foirgot to
mention that it also crashes when I unplug the connection from a router
and reconnect to the E2864i. it even sometimes crashes when somebody
calls in (e.g. faxes are received) or if I push the front switches that
emit data to the esp card.

weird. note that I use OSS drivers, not builtin sound. maybe an option
to check out too. to me it sounds like corruption in memory that causes
the crash.

ok, it doesn't crash (the first test) but the ne2k also doesn't work

I'll see if normal use (e.g. no floodping) helps here.

even without mgetty it fails. the fact hat esp.o is loaded is cause for
trouble. minicom using the card, exit - crash.

I do not use the DMA channel of the card as it conflicts with the SB16 I
have on board.

esp causing crashes..

2001-01-29 Thread Roeland Th. Jansen

[mike -- included you for refs only]

recently I started to dive into a problem that causes 2.2.x and 2.4.x to
crash at shutdown and when minicom/mgetty is used. e.g. shutdown almost
always crashed the system; if a fax is received, 3 out of 4 faxes ok,
but also crashes system.

I tried to contact the author of the hayes esp also but he seems to be
pretty busy...

Initially I thought that killall5, mike's product, somehow caused the
mentioned crash but diving deeper into it I found that killall5 tries to
kill mgetty -- and crashes the system. I tried a source version as well.
same stuff (I use suse 7.0)

I then tried without mgetty -- shutdown ok. Then I looked at esp.o as
it's being used with mgetty -- now used minicom... that crashes most
of the time when I exit the program. most of the time, it only crashes
if you reset the modem connected. 

I trouble shooted further and disconnecting the plug of the esp and at
the reconnect -- crash.

It seems that somewhere in the esp code, something causes this
particular weird crash. somehting like modem lines that get changed or
so causing the crash ? 

the IRQ is 11, not using DMA, IRQ is set to legacy in the BIOS.

it happens with any 2.2.xx version and also happens with 2.4.0.

the system's a non OC dual SMP (BP6) but it happened on the old hardware
(P5-100 w 64 MB) as well.

are there any things I could do to truble shoot this further in order to
use the esp again ?

thanks for the explanation. I run noapic right now and didn't die yet. I
looked at the irq stuff and decided that I probably don't need it
anyways.

are there new(er) boards known that do not have this problem ?

 your hardware.

thanks for the explanation. I run noapic right now and didn't die yet. I
looked at the irq stuff and decided that I probably don't need it
anyways.

are there new(er) boards known that do not have this problem ?

you can say about the BP6 what you want but it appears that there are
(if your vision is right) many other low end SMP boards categorized
trash. there has been one mistake with it and that's the capacitor
behind a regulator that may have been mis-dimentioned due to the
partchange of that particular capacitor.

my 2.2 kernel running on the BP6 proves that it may work very well,
unless you think that uptimes of > 40 days is bad.

the trouble with that is also that the whole patch must be checked again
and again if a new version is being sent out. Andrea's patches have th
epossibility to be applied for several versions and indeed are easy to
use -- apply what you want.

it made SMP testing more fun compared to the big patches where nobody
exactly knows what patch may have caused [in]stability.

I for instance have the daunting task to check why 2.4.0 here crashes so
easily without messages, except some occasional APIC error. yuck.

2.2.19pre3 clock timer config lost ?

2000-12-24 Thread Roeland Th. Jansen

never seen this before.

I run 2.2.19pre3 on a BP6.  No OC, no vmware. just the kernel wilt
lm-sensors stuff patched in.

I found that the kernel was somewhat sluggish now and then, and
this morning, this popped up in the logs :

Dec 24 02:05:05 grobbebol kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer
configuration lost - probably a VIA686a.

Dec 24 02:05:05 grobbebol kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip
configuration.

which is weird I guess.

1) clock the system to specs -- overclocking could kill the stuff
2) there are batches of BP6's (rev 1.1) that may fail due to an
   incorrect capacitor behind some regulator, causing crashes

OTOH -- Andrea's patches have been around pretty long time; maybe it's
time to have them added once in one release, test them (in fact many
people have tested several patches for long time as SuSE's set comes
standard with several of them out of the box) so that this backlog is
killed ?

Just a thought...

I also takled with Andrea and Alan about this. 2.2.16 will kill itself
within hours on my system. With Andrea's patches, it lives for long
times.
