Re: Linux 2.4.2-ac21
It was causing SMP boxes to crash mysteriously after several hours or days. Quite a lot of them. Nobody was able to explain why, so it was turned off. I know why it was turned off by default. The annoying this is that now the *only* way to activate the watchdog is via a boot command.

Activate the nmi watchdog with nmi_watchdog=1 in the boot parameters[*]. That will trip after 5 seconds and point to where it is hanging. If the nmi watchdog alone does not give enough data, add the kdb patch (with nmi watchdog on) and start debugging. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/, the -ac20 patch should fit -ac21 as well. Am I the only person who is annoyed that nmi watchdog is now off by default and the only way to activate it is by a boot parameter? You cannot even patch the kernel to build a version that has nmi watchdog on because the startup code runs out of the __setup routine, no boot parameter, no watchdog. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Re: Linux 2.4.2-ac21
Oops...
Linux 2.4.2-ac21 does not like my box, or the other way around:
loading the agpgart module (MGA G400 AGP) -> system hangs
loading the SCSI module (53c875) -> system hangs
In both cases, the magic SysRq sequence does not work, but it is still possible
to ping the box from the outside. Connecting to it (ssh) does not work,
however. I backed out both the SCSI driver patches as well as the agpgart
patches, but this did not fix the symptoms. Looks more like a module-loading
related issue, but I have not found it yet.
All this on an SMP (Abit BP6) box by the way...
The changes which introduced these symptoms have occured somewhere between -ac7
and -ac21, since -ac7 DID run on the same hardware.

Connecting to it (ssh) does not work, however. I backed out both the SCSI driver patches as well as the agpgart patches, but this did not fix the symptoms. Looks more like a module-loading related issue, but I have not found it yet. All this on an SMP (Abit BP6) box by the way... Activate the nmi watchdog with nmi_watchdog=1 in the boot parameters[*]. That will trip after 5 seconds and point to where it is hanging. If the nmi watchdog alone does not give enough data, add the kdb patch (with nmi watchdog on) and start debugging. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/, the -ac20 patch should fit -ac21 as well. Am I the only person who is annoyed that nmi watchdog is now off by default and the only way to activate it is by a boot parameter? You cannot even patch the kernel to build a version that has nmi watchdog on because the startup code runs out of the __setup routine, no boot parameter, no watchdog. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

It was causing SMP boxes to crash mysteriously after several hours or days. Quite a lot of them. Nobody was able to explain why, so it was turned off. I know why it was turned off by default. The annoying this is that now the *only* way to activate the watchdog is via a boot command. It is not possible to compile a standard debugging kernel with this option turned on, you have to rely on every user setting the boot options for every kernel. If it is going to be off by default there should be a way to patch the kernel to make it on by default. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
