regular crashing on 9.1
by Edwin Heath 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

My system seems to have become really unstable lately with applications crashing with sigsev or the whole system freezing (even at runlevel 3 in bash) I'm running: Linux espresso 2.6.5-7.111-default #1 Wed Oct 13 15:45:13 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have seen errors like the one below on the console quite a few time recently. bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'artsd', page 0000010001b6f1b8) flags:0x20100014 mapping:000001003df96630 mapped:0 count:0 private:0x00000000 Backtrace: Call Trace:<ffffffff80159788>{bad_page+120} <ffffffff80159b2f>{free_hot_cold_page+127} <ffffffff801634f8>{unmap_page_range+712} <ffffffff801636f0>{unmap_vmas+320} <ffffffff8016622a>{exit_mmap+106} <ffffffff80133964>{mmput+68} <ffffffff801379d1>{do_exit+497} <ffffffff801382f9>{do_group_exit+169} <ffffffff801103a4>{system_call+124} Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed heres a few more examples: Oct 25 12:23:58 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'yast2', page 0000010001d6ab78) Oct 25 12:24:56 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'sh', page 0000010001ceeaf8) Oct 25 15:34:52 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'firefox-bin', page 00000100010cc538) Oct 25 15:34:53 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'X', page 0000010001d0b8f8) Oct 29 21:41:24 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'online_update', page 000001000184f158) Oct 31 13:32:47 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'K03cron', page 0000010001d4f7b8) Oct 31 13:53:54 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'artsd', page 0000010001b6f1b8) Does this look like a hardware problem or is it something I've broken? I should be getting 9.2 in a few days :) so do I just give up on this install or does it look fixable. I've not seen the same issues on the 32bit install on the same box but then I don't use it much. Any ideas? Ed

xpdf update fails on some files
by Joseph Comfort 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

I did a YOU update on my SuSE 9.1 x86_64 box, which included the latest xpdf. xpdf hangs up on some files with the message (twice) Missing charset in String to FontSet conversion Files produced by pdflatex are usually the problem. The failure also occurs on 32-bit SuSE. I've had to reload the xpdf from the original CD. The xpdf-config rpm is also installed. Does it also need to be updated? If so, where? Thank you. Joe Comfort

Why don't they mention the Opteron?
by rrpalma＠synopsis.ws 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hello everyone, It seemed odd to me that while checking SuSE's site, they don't mention the Opteron as a supported processor for SuSE 9.2 Prof. Besides mentioning I386, they mention Athlon and EMT64, but not the Opteron... I assume SuSE 9.2 will not have any problems on the Opteron... Regards ________________________________________ Ricardo R Palma SYNOPSIS SA Telef.

Hi Gerhard, I'll give this a go >From my googling I noticed a few people have logged "Bad page state" errors over the years but not got much feedback :( I guess this means its either something really really simple or something horrible. guess I'd better go play Xbox for the rest of the night :) Ed On Sun, 2004-10-31 at 15:02, Gerhard den Hollander wrote: > * Edwin Heath <edwin.heath(a)ntlworld.com> (Sun, Oct 31, 2004 at 02:21:56PM +0000) > > My system seems to have become really unstable lately with applications > > crashing with sigsev or the whole system freezing (even at runlevel 3 in > > bash) > > > I suggest you download the latest memtest (www.memtest86.org) and give that > a testrun. > (burn selfbootable iso to CD, > stick cd in cddrive > reboot computer > see it start memtest, > leav memtest running for 24 hours (oros) and see if it finds any errors. > > > Kind regards, > -- > Gerhard den Hollander Phone :+31-10.280.1515 > ICT manager Direct:+31-10.280.1539 > Fugro-Jason Fax :+31-10.280.1511 > gdenhollander(a)Fugro-Jason.com POBox 1573 > visit us at http://www.Fugro-Jason.com 3000 BN Rotterdam > JASON.......#1 in Reservoir Characterization The Netherlands > > This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended > solely for the use of the addressee.

Hi, 1) i have this motherboard MSI K8N Neo-54G (nforce3), and under suse 9.1 via yast, if i select the module hardware info my wi-fi card is beiing recognized as RaLink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card. But when i go to the network devices -->network card it doesn't appear there. What can i do? 2) I installed the drivers from nvidia and the procedre went well. But i can;t really use ute onboard lan? I changed the modprobe.conf by putiing the line alias eth1 nvnet, but what can i do then? (i allready have another network card which yast recognized it and name it eth0)

Quake 3 Install Problem
by Kevin Ferrell 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

I've been attempting to install quake3 on my amd64 box but receive the follow error message when I run the install script: "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64 (tried to run setup) Please contact Id software technical support at bugs(a)idsoftware.com, or ttimo(a)idsoftware.com The setup program seems to have failed on x86_64/glibc-2.1" Has anyone else run into this problem and know of a workaround? I'm running suse 9.1 for amd64, with the latest nvidia drivers installed. Thanks, Kevin Ferrell kferrell(a)gmail.com

SuSEfirewall2で気になったこと
by Masaru Imai 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

今井です。 9.1のSuSEfirewall2(/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2)をごそごそいじってて気づいたんですが....。 FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPC(ポート番号が一意じゃないんでrpcinfoコマンド発行して通すポート番号を決定するタイプ)でNIS関係を通す様に設定したのはいいんですが、Linux起動時にネットワーク起動する前にSuSEfirewall2_init あたりの処理(実際は/sbin/SuSEfirewall2コマンド内部ですね)でどうもrpcinfo コマンド発行しちゃってるらしくポートマッパーと接続できないなんていうメッセージを出してくれてます。ポートマッパー起動前なのでそういうエラーが出るのも当り前ではありますが。あと、Squid使ってるんでFW_SERVICE_SQUID="yes"にしとくと SuSEfilrewall2_init、SuSEfirewall2_setup辺りで「Squid起動してません」というメッセージ出てきてるんですけどこれもちょっと間抜けと言えば間抜けですね。 FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPCがらみで同じ9.1のNISサーバーとなってるマシンでも SuSEfirewall2動かしてる場合、NISサーバーでもypbind動かしてないとクライアントからの接続を拒否しちゃってる様な気が.....。(当然と言えば当然ですが....) /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2あれこれいじれるんだけどyastで対応しきれてないのが少し悲しいですね。9.2でも消化不良になってそうだし.....。 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 今井優 mail: maimai(a)coral.ocn.ne.jp web: http://www10.ocn.ne.jp/~masimai/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
