During operation I get occasional softlocks The system hangs completely for one/two minutes and then returns to normal again. So could anybody please help me? Is my hardware bugy, should I replace the mainboard? Any settings in the BIOS? I have AHCI, ALPE and ASP enabled. If you need more information, please let me know. regards Bjoern Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Power on PC 2.Use ist or not 3.The softlock WILL occure in any case (normly only on time ber boot but today I had 2 softlocks) Actual Results: Collection of softlocks: Softlock Nr.1 (08.03.2007) BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

Reopen...
I tried without ALPE and ASP but I still get softlocks. After I disabled ALPE and ASP I got a softlock targeting [<ffffffff80487893>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x52) Disabling IRQ #18 I'll see if the softlocks with target on ahci and ata will occure after turning ALPE and ASP off regards Bjoern
Nothing changed when turning ALPE and ASP off. So now I am in a catch 22. Any ideas? regards Bjoern
Please reproduce this without the binary nvidia module loaded (and make sure it is not loaded at any point that boot). Also post /proc/interrupts before and after the soft lockup (if possible).
I switched to latest kernel 2.6.21-rc5 and now its hard to reproduce. I switched to that kernel because I noticed some changes to the jmicron driver in the changelog. The System locks now completely so I can't access any logs nore can I read any error msg. This happens both with nvidia and without nvidia driver. But I can't guarantee that its the same errro. Shold I try to hunt the bug with the latest kernel or should I switch back to the one where I got a running system back after a lock? Do you have any Ideas how I can get any error messages except sitting in front of the monitor and staring at a TTY wher the error will be dumped? I'll invastigate further and post my results here. Suggestions how to get debug outbut on such a crash would be nice. regards blubbi
Stick with 2.6.21_rc5 for now. The hard hang appears randomly after some time, or what? Have you ever seen it happen while on the console without X running?
Okay, Here's the error without nvidia CS driver. All I can give you is a picture of the error: http://olausson.name/temp/IMG_4192.JPG Any ideas what this error is about? Irealized that I had ex4dv as filesystem. So I switched back zo ext3 and bootet again with the nvidia CS driver and the ps locked again. Now I am gonna try to geht a "Monitor Shot" with ext3 and NV driver. Regards blubbi

Finally I got a screenshot output for you from the whole bug. Luckiely I had a konsole open with some text in it. The system got locked, keyboard is no longer funktional. All I could use was my mouse. So I tried to copy and paste the letters for "dmesg > BUG" together with the mous and used a whole marked line to send it of. For securety reasons I have taken a screenshot to. I got the screenhot in that way: Again with the mouse searched all letters for "cat BUG" and then took a screenshot of the output. And it was good that way... after a reboot I couldn't find the BUG file.... so here's the "MonitorShot" http://olausson.name/temp/IMG_4193.JPG This one is now without nvidia CS driver and without ext4dev. regards Bjoern
Thats useful, thanks. It seems like an odd problem though, possibly a hardware issue. Can you run memtest for a few passes and check that it doesn't bring up any errors?

I could provide a remote access (ssh) if it would help. regards Bjoern
Menmtest86+ now ran for 3,5 houres. 10 Tests without any error. Want to access this nasty machine via ssh? regrads and thanks Bjoern
Whats your most favoured guess: 1) Hardware error 2) Driver bug if 1) I'll go and grab a new board if 2) I'll pray that it will be fixed ;-) When I run WinXP my CD-R (Plextor, pata) drive, connected to the jmicron controller, is not found. I have to use the DeviceManager to "search for new hardware" after this procedure my CD-R drive is shown in the Explorer and in the DeviceManager. After this everything works fine. anything more I can do to help you? regrads Bjoern
By the way, I posted the same bug on bugzilla.kernel.org ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8259 ) but I didn't get an answere till now. Therefor I started the bug in the gentoo bug tracker. Maybe we should focus on one bugtracker. Maybe the kernel.org bugtracker? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171185 regards Bjoern
We'll watch the upstream bug, thanks.
