Hello, I have a SiS 661FX motherboard, which was perfectly stable with a Pentium 4 CPU (with HT). But since I installed a Pentium D (no HT), the system started to lock up several times a day. The system works fine under load tests under Windows.
I have moved all processes to core 0 using /dev/cpuset in a scriptthat I now run as init (I really onlyu need the second core for video playback). The system got much more stable but still locks up for a few minutes once in a while. For some reason it is more prone to lockups when Transmission is running. I also noted that interrupts are being handled mostly by core 1. I could not detect anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log for the lockup times. The kernel is 2.6.32 but I tried 3.0.something too (everything Debian-built). Nothing past 3.2 is available for this distro (Debian squeeze) but I will do a compile of any required version with any required config if necessary. Is there any way I could collect more information so the reason could be worked out? Any tests I could run to pinpoint whether it is indeed a kernel issue and if so what kind of issue - perhaps I could run tests without X started?
