Well, I posted around a month or so ago because I was having constant kernel panics. They died down for a while and now they're inexplicably back. My system is a self-built and configured as follows...
Pentium III flip chip on an ASUS CUV4X motherboard 768 MB of SDRAM Radeon 7000 Soundblaster Live 27GB 7200 RPM Western Digital HD 20GB 5400 RPM Western Digital HD. HP IDE CDRW (8250i) DVD Drive (not sure what brand) Sandisk CF Reader USB Gravis Gamepad Pro USB
The only thing consistent about the kernel panics is that I'm always playing OGG files off the 2nd hard drive (the 20 GB drive), which is HDB on my machine and used to store backups and OGGs. Thank goodness I do backup daily to CDRW since I crash constantly.
This sounds *very* similar to the problem I had on my machine at home recently with SuSE 8.1. I have: - 2 IDE disks on the same controller: /dev/hda and /dev/hdb - CD-ROM on the other controller: /dev/hdc - ext3 file system on all partitions And I had immediate kernel panics when playing .avi files with mplayer off the second hard drive (/dev/hdb). Our kernel experts investigated this and found that it was caused by bugs in the "barrier patch" of the kernel. They made a kernel package with the "barrier patch" completely for me and my machine ran very stable with that kernel. Later they made a kernel with a fixed "barrier patch" which I am running now. My machine runs very stable with that latest test kernel as well. So I sugesst that you try the update kernel from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586.patch.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586_de.info ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586_en.info k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586_en.info contains: k_deflt: The standard kernel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File: k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586.rpm Patchrpm: k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586.patch.rpm Version: 2.4.19 Size: 21380 kB Patchsize: 13772 kB Date: Wed 27 Nov 2002 03:25:58 AM CET Source: k_deflt-2.4.19-174.src.rpm Security: No ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This kernel update fixes several problems that can result in crashes or other malfunctions, in particular if using ICP Vortex RAID controllers or multiple IDE disks. It is necessary to reboot after applying the patch in order for the changes to become effective. I just asked our kernel package maintainer, Hubert Mantel which kernel this is and he said that this is the one with the "barrier patch" completely removed. The one with the fixed "barrier patch" is not yet on FTP. When comparing your problem description to my experiences with my home machine, I think it is higly likely that the above update which is currently on the SuSE FTP server will work well for you. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
