Hello,

I am trying LKML to get some help on one linux kernel related 
problem.
Lately we got a machine with new HW from Intel. CPU is Intel 
Core2 Duo
E6850 3GHz with 2GB of RAM. Motherboard is Intel DG33BU with G33 
chipset.


After long fight with kernel crashes on different things, we 
figured out
that if the multicore is disabled in bios, everything is ok and 
machine
is running good. No kernel crashes no problems, but with one core 
only.


This small table will maybe explain:

Cores   - kernel   -   state
   2  -   nonsmp or smp  - crash
   1  -  smp or nonsmp  - ok

All crashes have been different (swaper, rcu, irq, init.) or 
we just
got internal gcc compiler error while compiling kernel/glibc/ 
and the

machine was frozen.

Please can somebody advise what to do to identify that problem more
precisely. (debug kernel options?)

Our immpresion - ICH9 & ICH9R support in kernel is bad... sorry 
to say..
  
I have seen unusual memory behavior under heavy load, in the cases 
I saw
it was heavy DMA load from multiple SCSI controllers, and one case 
with
FFT on the CPU and heavy network load with gigE. Have you run 
memtest on

this hardware? Just a thought, but I see people running Linux on that
chipset, if not that particular board.

A cheap test even if it shows nothing. Of course it could be a CPU 
cache

issue in that one CPU, although that's unlikely.



yes, memtest was running all his tests without problems. The wierd 
thing is that all kernel crashes we have seen were different (as 
stated in original mail)


  
The problem with memtest, unless I underestimate it, is that it 
doesn't use all core and siblings, so it doesn't quite load the 
memory system the way regular usage would. Needless to say, if this 
does turn out to be a memory loading issue I don't know of any tools 
to really test it. I fall back on part swapping, but that only helps 
if it's the memory DIMM itself.




right now that machine has 2 x 1GB DDR2 - 800MHz do you think I 
should test the machine with only one DDR? (I hope to put there 4GB 
all together)


Well, odd memory problems are rare, did you look for a BIOS update? It 
could be that the chipset isn't being set properly, and would explain 
why it might work differently with another BIOS. But if there's 
nothing else to try, it won't hurt to see if it works differently with 
only one DDR.


original BIOS and the latest BIOS tested, doesn't work I will try 
latest kernels and just one DDR

All crashes have been different (swaper, rcu, irq, init.) or we just got 
internal gcc compiler error while compiling kernel/glibc/ and the machine 
was frozen.


Please can somebody advise what to do to identify that problem more precisely.
(debug kernel options?)

Our immpresion - ICH9  ICH9R support in kernel is bad... sorry to say..

I have seen unusual memory behavior under heavy load, in the cases I saw 
it was heavy DMA load from multiple SCSI controllers, and one case with 
FFT on the CPU and heavy network load with gigE. Have you run memtest on 
this hardware? Just a thought, but I see people running Linux on that 
chipset, if not that particular board.


A cheap test even if it shows nothing. Of course it could be a CPU cache 
issue in that one CPU, although that's unlikely.

yes, memtest was running all his tests without problems. The wierd thing is 
that all kernel crashes we have seen were different (as stated in original 
mail)

Re: ICH9 & Core2 Duo - kernel crash

I have one P35 machine too. And it's running ok (my workstation). The 
problem is with this board and chipset Intel G33 Express.


I am going to test vanilla 2.6.22 kernels and latest devel kernel too 
next few days.

 Lately we got a machine with new HW from Intel. CPU is Intel Core2 Duo E6850

 After long fight with kernel crashes on different things, we figured out
 that
 if the multicore is disabled in bios, everything is ok and machine is
 running
 good. No kernel crashes no problems, but with one core only.

 This small table will maybe explain:

 Cores   - kernel   -   state
2  -   nonsmp or smp  - crash
1  -  smp or nonsmp  - ok

 All crashes have been different (swaper, rcu, irq, init.) or we just got
 internal gcc compiler error while compiling kernel/glibc/ and the
 machine
 was frozen.

 Please can somebody advise what to do to identify that problem more
 precisely.
 (debug kernel options?)

Re: ICH9 Core2 Duo - kernel crash

2007-12-04 Thread Pavol Cvengros 
I have one P35 machine too. And it's running ok (my workstation). The 
problem is with this board and chipset Intel G33 Express.


I am going to test vanilla 2.6.22 kernels and latest devel kernel too 
next few days.

I'm using ICH9 on this machine currently, works fine. (p35 chipset though)
