Re: almost daily Kernel oops with 2.6.23.9 - and now 2.6.23.11 as well

Hi,

you guys were right, I was wrong.

It is the hardware. 

I increased ram voltage by 0.15V on the 22nd and hadn't any oopses since then. 
And I did torture the system.

I am deeply sorry that I wasted your time (but still puzzled that the oopses 
started after kernel update - maybe I should buy a new psu... ).

So it is not reiser4  nor the kernel, just the ram needs a little more 'juice' 
than the board delivers on 'auto' settings.

yeah, it would be the least annoying variant. After one PSU ate two computers,

do a full backup to switch to r3 and build an unpatched kernel.

/home (and /var, /tmp) is on reiser4 and my biggest partition. And since it 
needs up to 3 days to reproduce this - yes, hard to do without r4.

and this one was without the nvidia module:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel=119790371708690=2

and the first one I reported, was without nvidia and not-tainted too:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel=119776365425514=2

I am not a complete idiot. If I have a problem, I try to reproduce without 
nvidia first (after a clean shutdown and boot, with the module not even on 
harddisk). And I reproduced it without the module. The last oops with the 
module was just an example that it does not matter if the module is loaded or 
not and to (maybe) give some additional information.

case temp: 25°C measured near a warm harddisk by a digital thermometer.
mainboard temp: 31°C measured by lmsensors (mobo bios agrees)
cpu temp: 29-50°C (load dependent) measured by lmsensors, bios puts on two 
additional degrees.

I have 4 'big' fans installed to have a constant air stream in the case.

This really does not look like overheating. And I did have flaky ram in the 
past. The thing is, apart from the oops the system is completly, perfectly 
stable. That really does not smell like flaky hardware. At least not in my 
experience. Flaky PSU = sudden reboots, boot problems, crashes under load. 
Flaky mobo = see flaky psu. Flaky Ram: crashes, crashes, more crashes, 
segfaults here and there, especially when updating glibc, qt or kde. 

And I don't get this. I only get oopses.

It is just.. I could be the hardware - but I should have seen the 
same 'problem' with earlier kernels - and the 'almost daily oops' only 
started with 2.6.23.

first of all, apart from this oops all other oopses I reported were with a 
not-tainted kernel. You might want to read the other mails I have sent.

Also, besides of the reiser4 patch there is no other patch added to the 
kernel. And since people have had  successfully reported problems with

if this is bad hardware why:

- didn't this show up earlier?

- did a several hour memtest run couple of weeks ago didn't show up anything?

- and does stuff like compiling all of kde 3.5.8 or the latest kde4 rc finish 
without any problems?

If it would be bad hardware, I should see segfaults left and right, right? but 
I don't see them.  In fact, apart from the oopses the system works fine - 
even with the oopses the system works fine, apart from the occasional stuck 
ps aux

  RIP:

 This really sounds like bad hardware. Either memory or the mobo/riser
 card the memory is on. You might try lowering the memory timings of your
 memory in BIOS. Try removing 1/2 of your memory. If it still remove the
 other 1/2 and put the first 1/2 back and try again.

if this is bad hardware why:

- didn't this show up earlier?

- did a several hour memtest run couple of weeks ago didn't show up anything?

- and does stuff like compiling all of kde 3.5.8 or the latest kde4 rc finish 
without any problems?

If it would be bad hardware, I should see segfaults left and right, right? but 
I don't see them.  In fact, apart from the oopses the system works fine - 
even with the oopses the system works fine, apart from the occasional stuck 
ps aux

And this messages:
[41160.823959] kio_http_cache_[25229] general protection rip:32621f1fe9 
rsp:7fff59a3d270 error:0
show up on closing konqueror tabs/Konqueror. There are no surprising exits, no 
apps vanishing. 

But I will run memtest86+ (or should I use memtest86?).

Glück Auf,

first of all, the 2 with which I was seeing that have had their memtest run 
for some hours some weeks ago, without problems. I can compile stuff - like 
the latest kde4 rc without segfaults or problems (except when the oops is 
happening), and this mess only started recently. To be more correct:
the swap-mess only started with 2.6.23.11. With 2.6.23.9 I get the kio_http... 
rip's, but no swap related messages.

Overheating is very unlikely. I made sure that my computer is very well 
cooled. Even under high load I get something like 50°C from lmsensors and 
bios - and the errors are completly unrelated to load. Or temperature. 
Without load my cpu idles at ~30°C. Again, lmsensors and bios are very close 
about that.

Glück Auf,
Volker

 You're seeing a single bit set where it shouldn't be: please give
 memtest86+ a good try; if it's not actually your memory that's bad,
 then I'd guess it's something like overheating (please correct me,
 ye who know better).

 Hugh

first of all, the 2 with which I was seeing that have had their memtest run 
for some hours some weeks ago, without problems. I can compile stuff - like 
the latest kde4 rc without segfaults or problems (except when the oops is 
happening), and this mess only started recently. To be more correct:
the swap-mess only started with 2.6.23.11. With 2.6.23.9 I get the kio_http... 
rip's, but no swap related messages.

Overheating is very unlikely. I made sure that my computer is very well 
cooled. Even under high load I get something like 50°C from lmsensors and 
bios - and the errors are completly unrelated to load. Or temperature. 
Without load my cpu idles at ~30°C. Again, lmsensors and bios are very close 
about that.

Glück Auf,
Volker

The board has four ports and I use the first one. After that, the computer

I tried this kernels:
2.6.20
2.6.20.1
2.6.21
2.6.21.1
2.6.21.3
2.6.21.5

2.6.21.5 with and without cfs. Every other kernel without cfs. Patched with 
reiser4, nvidia not loaded nor used. All of them locked up. I tried two 
different cdrtools 2.01.01_alpha27 and alpha25. No change.

The strange thing: 2.6.21.1 has worked in the past. At the 21.May I tried 
(successfully) to burn a dvd. The only real change I could find since then: I 
recompiled the whole system to remove 'ricer' cflags.

Re: [patch] CFS scheduler, -v13

2007-05-23 Thread Hemmann, Volker Armin
Hi,

I wanted to mail earlier, but I had always something get in my way.

I used cfs v13 since you announced it. Since patching the kernel (2.6.21.1) 
with cfs v13 
I did the following things;

- big backup of home onto tape and restoring it after changing to reiser4 
(yes, I know the threads about its problems, but I always wanted to try it - 
and when fragmentation reached the point of unbearable, I switched. The 
really important stuff is still on a different fs, and I figured that using 
an experimental fs might be the kick I need to do frequently updates 
again..).

- lots and lots and lots of compiling. And then some more compiling.

- burning dvds (I also switched to libata - if you go experimental, why don't 
do it completly... only the dvd drive and a 'data dump' harddisk are 
affected.. but hey, since then no surprise-pio-mode anymore...)

- some ut2004 

- assorted desktop stuff. typing, surfing, video, music,  - most of 
it in parallel. some 'minor' games like freeciv, wesnoth, lgeneral.

- some vegastrike-svn

So far I am pretty satisfied.  I can't see any regressions, music is 
skip-free, videos play nice, burning dvds is fast, ut2004 and vegastrike play 
well. The other games can't be better and did not get worse. Everything else 
behaves like always.

Glück Auf,
Volker

cfs works fine for me

2007-04-24 Thread Hemmann, Volker Armin
Hello,

I have tried the cfs patches with 2.6.20.7 in the last days.

I am using KDE 3.5.6, gentoo unstable and have a dual core AMD64 system with 
1GB ram and a nvidia card (using the closed source drivers, yes I suck, but I 
love playing 3d games once in a while).

I don't have interactivity problems with plain kernel.org kernels (except when 
swapping a lot, swapping really sucks)
My system works well and is stable.

With the cfs patches, my system continues to work well. I have not seen any 
regressions, desktop is snappy, emerge'ing stuff (niced to +19), does not 
hurt and unreal tournament 2004 is as fast (or slow, depends on the 
situation) as always. It even looks like FPS under heavy stress (like 
onslaught torlan when lots of bots and me are fighting at a powernode), don't 
go down as low as with the mainline scheduler. Not a big difference, but it 
is there (20-25 with plain kernel.org kernel in extrem situations compared to 
>30 with the cfs patches). Maybe I did not hit the worst case, playing is a 
little bit restricted at the moment - my wrist and ellbow hate me, but it 
looks promising. Apart from the worst case scenrios, FPS are more or less the 
same.

My usage consisted of surfing the web with konqueror, watching videos with 
xine and mplayer, using kmail (with tens of thousands of mails in different 
folders), looking at pictures with kuickshow, installing XFCE, asorted 
updates, typing lots and lots of stuff in kate and web forums, listening to 
mp3/ogg with amarok, playing pysol/kpat/lgeneral/wesnoth/ut2004/freecol, a 
lot of that parallel (not ut2004... I don't want to hurt my precious fps...).

Again, my system worked fine with the 'normal' scheduler, from the stuff I 
read in the lkml archives I must be some special kind of guy, so there was no 
improvement on the 'feels snappy or not' front, but there are also no 
regressions. So from my point of view, everything is fine with cfs and I 
would not mind having it as default scheduler. 

If you want specs of my hardware, my kernel config or any other information, 
just send me an email. I am not subscribed to lkml, nor can I read any of its 
archives in the next couple of days, which is one reason why I don't answer 
to one at the existing threads (I don't even know if there are some at the 
moment), so in case of an answer cc'ing me would be nice.

Glück Auf
Volker
