| |
Hi all,
None of the latest 2.0 kernels seem to work in SMP on our Quad PPro boxen. To summarize:
We have - AMI Goliath with four 200MHz 256k PPros - KNE100TX on 100Mbps half duplex - 3.2 GB IDE Quantum Fireball, firmware A0F.0800 with all hdparm options off except readahead - simple S3 video card, no X - user home directories are mounted from another Linux box - base RedHat 5.0 distribution, updated to all RH fixes as of today (including glibc 2.0.6); - upgraded to support 2.1.89-pre5 (this shouldn't make a difference, as tools like modutils should be backward compatible, right ?)
I tried - base 2.0.32 as included in RH 5.0 - clean 2.0.33 - 2.0.33 patched with Alan's 2.0.34pre2-patch - both the 0.79 tulip as included in the kernel as the 0.83 tulip
Symptoms: - (on all:) Too much work in interrupt - (on 3[23]:) Aiee: scheduling in interrupt (no keyboard response, fsck all disks) - (on 34pre2:) CP: U #3Attempted flush tlb IPI when not AKP (=255) (followed by:) - IRQ DEADLOCK DETECTED BY CPU [012] (and locked again...)
2.1.89pre5 works great, even with IO-APIC, but I need stable TCP/IP for my sims...
Extra data can be provided, of course.
Sincerely,
Jan-Derk Bakker.
