I have a problem whereby the nvidia drivers cause my system to
hang/reboot a few seconds after startx. I have discovered that
disabling the SMP/apic lines in the kernel fixes the problem. This
occurs on 5.2-CURRENT and 4.9-RELEASE.
I first noticed this problem after a motherboard swap. The old
motherboard was a Tyan Tiger MP and it was running 5.1-CURRENT at the
time and nvidia drivers were working fine with SMP kernel. The
motherboard died so I replaced it with a MSI K7D Master-L (MPX
chipset). After that the nvidia drivers stopped working if SMP kernel
enabled.
I have tried NO_MIXED_MODE, disabling acpi and a lot of other BIOS
options but no luck. I don't know if this is an nvidia driver issue or
a problem with this particular motherboard/chipset. Any help
appreciated. Thanks.
I just upgraded my single socket A gigabyte GA-VAXP motherboard to a
dual socket A gigabyte GA-DPXDW+ yesterday. This motherboard is also
using the MPX chipset. I am having the same issue: As soon as I
enable SMP and apic in the kernel the nvidia drivers lock up. This
wouldn't be such a big deal to me, except I need the nvidia drivers to
use both heads on my video card (at least as far as I know) I'm attaching
a dmesg both with and without SMP enabled, as well as a copy of my
kernel config file, (I'm just toggling between SMP in there) and a copy
of my XF86Config (Once again, just toggling between the nv and nvidia
driver) I can give someone a shell on this box if it will help
troubleshoot, otherwise I can provide more information as needed.
