[opensuse-kernel] Nehalem kernel NUMA bug
I've dual E5520 server w/Supermicro X8DTI mobo (last June 2009 1.0c bios version). Default OpenSuSE 11.1 x86-64 kernel (2.6.27.7-9) gives an error in /sys/devices/system/node directory - there is node0 and node2 subdirectories instead of node0 and node1 (smt is turned off). As a result numactl tools don't work. I don't find the message about this error in SuSE bugzilla "database". This Nehalem/NUMA error is also known (AFAIK) for 2.6.29-6 default OpenSuSE kernel, and also in FC11 kernel 2.6.29, and in some CentOS 2.6 kernel; but there are kernels w/o this error :-) Is there some updated OpenSuSE 11.1 kernels w/o this error ? Or may be some OpenSuSE 11.2 kernels ?

What are the kernels without this error?

Can you try the latest 11.2 kernel to see if that still has this issue? That would make it much easier to help track down. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

AFAIK Centos 5.3 w/2.6.18-128.2.1 is OK. 2.6.18-128.1.10 don't work. But I didn't check it myself ! May be default OpenSuSE 10.3 kernel also is OK (see opensuse--hardware--64 bit forum on suse site, thread w/Nehalem content in "thread name"). May be extraction from dmesg on my SuSE11.1/2.6.27.7-9 will be helpful: it show, that it was NODE1, but then node2 is appear (see below) !

Is there some updated OpenSuSE 11.1 kernels w/o this error ? Or may be some OpenSuSE 11.2 kernels ?
Can you try the latest 11.2 kernel to see if that still has this issue?
I'm extremally busy until Sept. 15th, so only if it'll "cost" me only some rpm commands issuing for update (or add second kernel for GRUB - may be it's better) and then to downgrade back. Is it enough to install only //download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/x86-64/kernel-default-2.6.31-2.1.x86_64.rpm or I need also kernel-syms package etc (hope that not glibc) ? I need xfs support in kernel for /home. Yours Mikhail
That would make it much easier to help track down.

There are bug fixes for userspace numactrl to be able to handle numa holes. But this came in late and for PPC, thus it is only activated for PPC builts. Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
