[opensuse-kernel] Recurring hardware error about cache on 12.1 kernel
Athlon X2 5600+ on nForce 500 chipset, Ubuntu and Win7 run fine, moved to SuSE
12.1 64bit recently, standard desktop-kernel.
Every once in a while it throws an error into messages that looks like this:
Jun 20 13:24:35 linux-3gig kernel: [ 2100.704050] [Hardware Error]:

What's strange is that it *only* happens on fractions of 50 seconds:

(Come to think of it this is not even regularly as then it would have to
happen on 00 and 30)
I would have thought hardware error, but not with the number scheme and in
respect that various kernels from ubuntu releases never complained.
Plus, the machine works perfectly stable from user perspective.
Here's # lspci -vvv

Either your machien really has problems or there is a bug somewhere, either in the kernel or in your BIOS/firmware etc. Try updating your BIOS from your motherboard vendor and running tests for your hardware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Machine works flawless. Tests committed so far are RAM check and CPU load check. If you know a test suitable to provoke cpu cache swap errors let me know. cpuburn suite runs without fault. As all other OSses this machine ran so far (from Slackware 11 over debian 5, debian 6 and a queue of ubuntu flavors) none ever yielded such an error my prime suspect is the SuSE kernel. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

The problem may be with the kernel; however, we won't really know until you provide the output of 'uname -r' for all the various distros that work OK, and for the one that does not. I have enough trouble keeping track of the kernel versions used in the openSUSE releases - I certainly do not know what Debian, Ubuntu, or Slackware use. One thing you could try is to boot one of the openSUSE 12.2 Beta 2 Live CDs to see if the problem was fixed between kernel 3.1 (as likely found in your 12.1), and the 3.4 kernel used in 12.2.

Right now SuSE runs 3.1.10-1.13-desktop, ran 3.1.0 when the installation was fresh (and threw this error then, too.) The last kernel I used on ubuntu was linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic, before that I ran a series of 2.6 kernels and fewer 3.0 kernels. Theses dists don't reside on disk anymore, so I can't tell in more detail, but one thing is worth mentioning: this is the first time ever I run the 3.1 kernel series. All other dists ran 3.0 or older *or* at least 3.2. So we're looking for something that happens every 50 seconds in the 3.1 SuSE desktop kernel series.

Try to use the last official updated kernel for 12.1 which is 3.1.10-1.16-desktop Check why you didn't have the update automatically 1.13 was full of failure (power, suspend, etc) and was quickly removed from update channel -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

That update escaped me, I wouldn't know how to make new updates visible here in SuSE's KDE3, so I update manually whenever I happen to remember it.
