| |
Hello,
I have spend lots of time to find why my computer keep crashing (hard).
I was having a PIII@450 (don't remember the MB), then a PIV@2200 with a MSI Max2-BLR motherboard, and now I have an amd64@3000 on an MSI Neo K8T.
The gfx card with the PIII was a Matrox G400 and as it wasn't compatible with the PIV I changed it for a Matrox G550.
I use DVB with VDR, but I can do the crash all the time without VDR, all I have to do is to have xawtv running and having a process that write fast enough data to an HD (I tested xfs, reiserfs, ext2 and ext3 with same result). If I don't have xawtv running I can't make crashing my system which is rock stable :-)
I have tried to put my palm on serial to see if I could grab anything about the crash with appending nmi_watchdog=1 console=ttyS0,57600 console=tty0 or with nmi_watchdog=2 but I don't receive anything.
The first problem appeared on my 2.2 kernels, and I have the same with 2.6.9 which I put under http://magma.epfl.ch/greg/linux/2.6.9-config
