No one on this list is required to help you. This list is composed of volunteers, none of whom are paid to provide you with support. Since your experience with Linux has proved so monumentally taxing to your MS softened mind, it may be to your benefit to abandon Linux for a proprietary OS that you can grovel to when you run into a little trouble. Linux is a hands-on OS; an operating system for those who wish to get involved in its development and contribute to its evolution. Clearly, this is not for you.

apparent random rebooting
by Paul Brown 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

I have a problem with a dual opteron machine randomly rebooting depending on what memory is in the machine, does anyone know how to track this problem down. The memory seems to be ok, if there's just 8Gb in the machine then it's nice and stable but go upto 12 or 16 and it starts rebooting. The memory has all been in the machine as the first 8 at some point or other and I've tried different memory so I don't think it's that. Plus it's only when running 2 copies of abaqus simualtaneously that the problem occurs, running 1 will go indefinitely (> 48 hours) but running 2 has so far been unable to run for longer than 24 hrs without a reboot when there's > 8Gb of memory in the machine. This test is running a set of 14 jobs over and over again (takes < 2hrs to complete a set), so it can run the jobs but something upsets it somewhere I'm using SLES 9 and have tried the supplied kernel as well as getting the latest source and compiling that as a kernel (2.6.9), both seem to do the same, rebooting as If someone has pressed the reset button so I can't find anything in /var/log Any ideas of how to find out what is happening ? Thanks Paul

System locking up....
by Tom Nielsen 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

I've been running into a problem where my system locks up or freezes. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with SuSE. This can happen daily, weekly and mostly, randomly. I have not figured out any common denominator for why this is happening. I can be typing along and bam! everything locks up and I have to power off then back on. I've tried ssh'ing into my machine from another computer and can't get in....host not responding. Has anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts where to start? I don't see anything in the log files. I'm running a Sun W1100z on SuSE 9.1-64. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 1.805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

I've had a similar issue under SLES8 SP3 where the X server will basically run away. It will use 100% of one of the CPUs with no response on the console. If I ssh in to the box and kill the X server the console will come back. My system is under very light load. It is a dual opteron with 4GB of memory. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Bourn [mailto:brad@summitrd.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 7:57 AM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] System locking up....

On my system serial_cs says which serial port it did assign to the card (I'm not at the system, so I cannot quote the exact message). Once it worked, it did not mention the memory ranges, which it did scan, anymore. This looks as if you insert the card, then cs gets started, scans the memory, but does not find anything. Thus the card does not get a serial port assigned. You need to work on the memory / port ranges, as long as there is no serial port assigned to your card by serial_cs. (If the card does not need a special driver, then of course serial_cs is irrelevant, but that driver would need to get loaded). > > - more /var/log/messages under root login : > > Nov 22 21:37:13 snidre kernel: cs: memory probe 0xf8a00000-0xfd1ff000: > excluding 0xf8a00000-0xfa4f3fff 0xfadf0000-0xfb26dfff 0xfb6ec000-0xfd65dfff > Nov 22 21:37:13 snidre cardmgr[2816]: socket 0: Serial or Modem > > - lsmod : > serial_cs 11176 1 > ds 21128 5 serial_cs > yenta_socket 21248 1 > pcmcia_core 66188 3 serial_cs,ds,yenta_socket > > - ls -al /dev/mod* : > > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 22 21:37 /dev/modem -> /dev/cua4 > > > 2/ case of the Hayes Optima288 card (modem) : > > - more /var/log/messages under root login (not enough data with only > dmesg) : > > Nov 22 21:44:28 snidre cardmgr[2816]: socket 0: Hayes Optima 288 > Nov 22 21:44:29 snidre kernel: ttyS5 at I/O 0xd000 (irq = 9) is a 16450 Here ttyS5 seems to get assigned.

Try to make a link /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS5 instead, and try to talk to the modem (minicom should be OK, or dial with kppp) If this does not work, then your back at the problem that serial_cs does not read your card correctly.

Hello Yes, I confirm that the infos I gave are the right ones for kernel 2.6.8 . For no confusion (right english word ?) I join the 3 files : serial.opts, config and config.opts. I used these for he following tests. Curious behaviour of the modem card, in particular the Com One which should work according this website : http://tuxmobil.org/pcmcia_ci10478.html So, with these below details, I hope that it will help you to find the reason why the modem cards are so "hard" to work properly :-) Regards Pascal 1/ case of the Com Oen card MC227 (modem) So, before pluggin : - lsmod : ds 21128 4 yenta_socket 21248 0 pcmcia_core 66188 2 ds,yenta_socket And after pluggin : - dmesg : cs: memory probe 0xf8a00000-0xfd1ff000: excluding 0xf8a00000-0xfa4f3fff 0xfadf0000-0xfb26dfff 0xfb6ec000-0xfd65dfff - more /var/log/messages under root login : Nov 22 21:37:13 snidre kernel: cs: memory probe 0xf8a00000-0xfd1ff000: excluding 0xf8a00000-0xfa4f3fff 0xfadf0000-0xfb26dfff 0xfb6ec000-0xfd65dfff Nov 22 21:37:13 snidre cardmgr[2816]: socket 0: Serial or Modem - lsmod : serial_cs 11176 1 ds 21128 5 serial_cs yenta_socket 21248 1 pcmcia_core 66188 3 serial_cs,ds,yenta_socket - ls -al /dev/mod* : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 22 21:37 /dev/modem -> /dev/cua4 2/ case of the Hayes Optima288 card (modem) : - more /var/log/messages under root login (not enough data with only dmesg) : Nov 22 21:44:28 snidre cardmgr[2816]: socket 0: Hayes Optima 288 Nov 22 21:44:29 snidre kernel: ttyS5 at I/O 0xd000 (irq = 9) is a 16450 - lsmod : serial_cs 11176 1 ds 21128 5 serial_cs yenta_socket 21248 1 pcmcia_core 66188 3 serial_cs,ds,yenta_socket - ls -al /dev/mod* : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 22 21:44 /dev/modem -> /dev/cua5 3/ case of the ethernet NetGear FA411 card : - more /var/log/messages under root login : Nov 22 22:07:38 snidre cardmgr[2816]: socket 0: NetGear FA411 Fast Ethernet Nov 22 22:07:38 snidre kernel: eth1: NE2000 Compatible: io 0xd000, irq 9, hw_addr 00:40:F4:44:19:A2 Nov 22 22:07:38 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 01:ff44:19a2 LEN=72 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 OPT ( ) PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=131 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:38 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:39 snidre SuSEfirewall2: Firewall rules successfully set in QUICKMODE for device(s) " ppp+" plus masquerading Nov 22 22:07:39 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 01:ff44:19a2 LEN=64 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=255 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=135 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:39 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:40 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0240:f4ff:fe44:19a2 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 00:0000:0002 LEN=56 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=255 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=133 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:40 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:44 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0240:f4ff:fe44:19a2 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 00:0000:0002 LEN=56 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=255 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=133 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:44 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:45 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0240:f4ff:fe44:19a2 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 01:ff44:19a2 LEN=72 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 OPT ( ) PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=131 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:45 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:48 snidre kernel: SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0240:f4ff:fe44:19a2 DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:00 00:0000:0002 LEN=56 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=255 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=133 CODE=0 Nov 22 22:07:48 snidre kernel: REJECTv6: case 2 not handled yet Nov 22 22:07:49 snidre kernel: eth1: no IPv6 routers present - lsmod : pcnet_cs 20152 1 8390 10752 1 pcnet_cs ds 21128 5 pcnet_cs yenta_socket 21248 1 pcmcia_core 66188 3 pcnet_cs,ds,yenta_socket

Hello, we are getting error messages using our server process on Suse 9.1: >> kernel: afpsrv: 32bit quotactl not supported on 64 bit kernel Does somebody now if the quota 32 bit API cannot be mapped into 64 bit or is it just a missing translation. Helmut Tschemernjak

x86-64 Live CD
by Bodo Bauer 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi, I thought it may interest some people in this forum. We published a SuSE Linux 9.2 Live CD image for x86-64 based machines. You can download the ISO image at -> ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/live-cd-9.2/ Functionality is limited due to the small space available on a CD. But it's still nice to show off 64 bits... :) BB

Re: [suse-amd64] SUSE 9.2 sk98lin severe problems with ASUS K8V SE Mobo
by Jens Richter 22 Nov '04

My problem was that the system just hangs every second for 100~200 msec. Felt like the system had a severe hiccup. Adio and video was unusable. Network connection was working though! The patch is specifically for the corrupt ASUS EEPROM, don't know if this make any difference on your ABIT mobo. Regards, JR.
