In /etc/security/limits.conf you can put any limits that can be set using ulimit command so they are kept between reboots. Thanks J.A.

[gentoo-user] System hangs when enabling radeon power management
Hi folks ! I am facing a problem since a week now when enabling radeon power management following KMS Power Management Options [1]. I have two radeon HD 9770 on my system in crossfire configuration, but on Linux I only use one of them (the first one on the PCI bus). When I switch the GPUs using the low profile, randomly, my system hangs. The problem is that I have nothing ! No kernel panic, no logs, really nothing. I tried everything, adding hard and soft lockup detection in the kernel did not help, I also enabled nmi_watchdog without success, tried kexec and kernel crash dumps either. I am getting to the point of booting the kernel using kgdb/kdb over a serial connection... As radeon guys on the IRC #radeon channel seems to be muted on this point, I would like to know if anyone here can lead me through a way to help debugging this problem, as the consequence of staying in default power profile make my GPU burning around 70°C... I can provide as many information as possible, and here is a little summary about my configuration: - Gentoo sources 3.2.0-r1, - in-kernel radeon module with KMS enabled, - ~amd64 keyword. Many thanks for your help. [1] http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature#KMS_Power_Management_Options -- YaGB on http://gentooist.com Follow me on twitter @blakawk ;)

I have two radeon Well I cannot help you, explicitly; but I have some info to share with you. I have 2 ethernet ports on an older Asus mobo. Until the 3.0 kernel series, the booting process *always* selectrf the eth0 one correctly. Since the 3.0 series, about 20% of boot it selects the second ethernet port as eth0. I can move over the cable, or manually configure or reboot and play roulette. I have not delved into the matter any deeper as I'm swamped with issues. might a udev rule help establish the correct card to use? Have you tried to first set up (boot) the system without the crossfire confing(wiring)? If that is the sort of phenomenon affecting you, you'd have to ssh into the system and look at the boot files and records. Maybe setting up the system to transmit via a console (serial) port might help to look at the boot output as it occurs and step through the boot sequence. With or without crossfire, I encounter the problem, and the graphic card in slot number one is always the one taking over. Also, I already set up a console over serial port, but nothing gets out when the system hangs. That's why i am now at the point of running the kernel under GDB. Also, I want to say that the problem does not occur on boot phase at all, everything goes just fine until I activate any other power profile than 'default' one on the radeon card using: # echo '(low|mid|high)' /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile Then, once power management activated, the system randomly hangs *AFTER* a various amount of time, requiring a hard reboot. hth, James - -- YaGB on http://gentooist.com Follow me on twitter @blakawk -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPCzVzAAoJEIJZqh3hgPiNWMQP/31y5wmf2Q+V6ZPx2vcHVw8C riEgI3mkwNylO+UWhJqAzDwjuvkmP+h53DHhWZD+PXfiSHDoSE3N9K56SwY3rTZx HvxgjO+qmdebFfB+hwBZkcFbSidU7exTA3GQnquE8Z/jRw+1MjnAUAs653rKA3wF DEv5cwtaJFNDQKKzGahMVkWrxN2JHMqGQ0gbk4d59IwzYPTrJFPc/mvDQxlIswWU K5UJvSIlHm9TsiHFGqUCK4ToKUe8+3KBGiF70tRzrxaez5HqJ8joMlKA6ZSpVBkh exzVZe2MWUx9prUBXEB6fQQn8vGKstallYJ9wHMmF0Mj2I13XoIXW2o6BIt2Qwt5 0qNrNRSSxam2mjTBQXX6NCGCPSa/Wo2lactAgRtIbS8a1wdH9GoY4SAwSNVWzv/8 muY4SOGcVhc403I3SaCV9cSxHfTAA+X1Nx6lWQlOo0SjDsHNpje8TXnSyLuX3z4h Aipp7fSuLI97tYDVsbHTZpoG8J4b84tqM2y2GIydAmG+S+LrYo5YQ6UaxKU3lGjo rC+mBnx8BPELGd/DhUMzGVzRFW1lFe9XlRXqYgh+7eJfldVYGXYUxW9YIEwutL/1 5QnupsXkWlT5AMYQ0iFIfqr+2TepBgzqGONmvHaQF8sElqGk2VeeRdqVoe9W8bbp L2+1PrNrtrjkw46ob3rf =YGxL -END PGP SIGNATURE-
