Hello fellows, I have a dual PowerMac G4 (described below in /proc/cpuinfo) and for a few months it has presenting some problems. When I am operating the machine, is presented in gkrellm that the processor #1 stops operating. This crash presents two different scenes: (1) the processor #1 stops but the processor #0 operates normally, supporting all amount of work; and (2) the two processors stops and I need reboot the machine.
I'm using the kernel version 2.6.8 and this same problem occur in other kernel versions and in Mac OS X, too. Verifying /var/log/messages, I can see this anormal message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /var/log/messages: May 30 11:20:23 falcao kernel: Machine check in kernel mode. May 30 11:20:23 falcao kernel: Caused by (from SRR1=20009030): L1 Data Cache error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I did some searches using Google, but I didn't find a solution for this problem. I suppose disabling the processor #1, I can solve this problem. So, how can I disable one of my dual processors?? Or, how can I solve this problem :-D ?? Thank you!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 1249MHz revision : 3.3 (pvr 8001 0303) bogomips : 1249.28 processor : 1 cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 1249MHz revision : 3.3 (pvr 8001 0303) bogomips : 1249.28 total bogomips : 2498.56 machine : PowerMac3,6 motherboard : PowerMac3,6 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 129 (PowerMac G4 Windtunnel) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 1536MB pmac-generation : NewWorld -- [s] Paulo Ricardo Paz Vital
