Hi, i've built the lfs-svn version from december 23th with the latest 2.6.36 Kernel. The system runs well until i installed ntfs-3g and mounted a NTFS-partiton.
Mounting the partition, after vew minutes (approx. 2 or 3) the system freezes (the screen blanks and doesn't respond even to magic sysrequest). After reset on the next reboot the following message appears: lfs-kernel: HARDWARE ERROR lfs-kernel: No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type. lfs-kernel: Run the message through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode. However, there are two strange things: first: the message appears 6 times, but i've a quad-core Intel Q9550 (no hyperthreading). Second: in oppose to other reports i found with google related to this error, the Kernel keep running after that message (no panic). And until i mount the NTFS-Partition, all works well. With google i found only one hint (and in german) in a Ubuntu-forum. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/kernel-panics-ohne-erkennbares-muster/?highlight=flash#post-2466827 The problem reported is similar to mine: after installing nts-3g and mounting a NTFS-Partition the system freezes and give the same error on next reboot. I decided to rebuild the LFS-System again using the latest svn-version but with the latest 2.6.35 Kernel. No problems with that, the system runs very well and stable. I'm a C/C++ programmer but no kernel-hacker so i didn't try to track down the problem. Maybe one of you is able to check/reproduce the problem? Some information about my hardware: Mainboard: Asus P5QD Turbo (all oc-features etc. disabled in BIOS, not needed :) ) CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q9550 stock-speed 2.83GHz C1 stepping RAM: 8GB Graphics: EVGA Nvidia GTX470 HDD: 4x500GB Sound: Creative Xfi Titanium PCIe The system is compiled as 32bit i686, Kernel with PAE and HighMem 64G compiled. No modules, all compiled in (except one module called scsi_wait.ko and the Nvidia-driver) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
