Hi all, We're running RTLinux here for a software-radio-system. That is, all calculations for the transmitting signal are done in a thread and then outputted via a DMA-card. Only to say that the RTLinux system is used pretty heavily. The machine is a dual-Pentium II. Usually everything is running fine, even under KDE-2.1. But under KDE-2.2-alpha1 it does crash from time to time. Also under XFree 4.0 the machine crashes. However, under Gnome or Konsole-mode, everything runs fine. There is a lot of memory-accessing being done (~28MBytes/s), with a shared block of memory in the highest 2Megs (and I run linux with mem=254m). The crash usually is pretty funny: I try to restart the system on the console, and even before the cursor gets to the next line, the computers stalls and comes to a crawl. The message I get sometimes is: stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#1) But it's not always there. It might be that the computer can't always write it to the log-files before I restart the computer... The /proc/cpuinfo contains: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 5 model name : Pentium II (Deschutes) stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 451.030 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no sep_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr bogomips : 897.84 and the same for the second processor. Does this ring a bell to someone? Somebody other had the same problem?
