Description Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2003-05-26 21:05:01 UTC

I attempted to enable HIGHMEM support for my SMP system (dual Athlon 2000+) and the 
HIGHMEM-enabled kernel (gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2) would not boot. I attempted changing 
CONFIG_MMP31=y to CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII31=y and that did nothing. malverian had the same problem 
yesterday using gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r5 with a non-SMP system. Attached is my .config, 
without HIGHMEM support. I'm unable to test this further right now because the machine is 
running RedHat for the summer. malverian also said he was going to talk to pfeifer about 
this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use gentoo-sources-2.4.20 kernel
2. Enable HIGHMEM
3. Kernel won't boot

Actual Results:  
Unable to boot HIGHMEM-enabled kernel

Expected Results:  
Boot HIGHMEM-enabled kernel so I can use the rest of my memory.

Comment 1 Tony Clark 2003-05-29 03:06:45 UTC

I also have problems with athlon MP and gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r4 and r5.  The machine doesn't crash but seems to lose interrupts and doesn't respond correctly.  ie to get through "init" I have to keep hitting the keys. 2.4.20-r2 is fine.  I've done a little problem hunting and the problem seems to be related to  (200) Timer frequency (HZ) (200).  I see the same problem when I tried the ck-sources which has the same patch.
I don't believe these kernels where ever tested on a MP system which is ok, but it should not be in stable or it needs to have some other method in portage so it flags as a untested in MP systems.

Comment 2 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

they were tested on MP systems. 
 
highmem compiles fine here. 
 
save your .config!!!! 
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/ 
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/ 
emerge gentoo-sources 
make oldconfig 
make menuconfig  (just to check you have the options you need) 
make dep && make clean && make bzImage modules modules_install 
put ${KV}/arch/i386/boot/bzImage in /boot (make sure /boot is mounted) 
if using lilo run it... otherwise... 
reboot to ensure all is ok...

Comment 3 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

cannot reproduce the highmem issues with a proper tree.

Comment 4 Reuben Martin 2003-07-12 18:03:10 UTC

HighMem option still causes kernel panic during boot process, even after removing  /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/ and /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/ and re-emerging gentoo-sorces.

that isn't a kernel bug from highmem - you need to have proper ide support in your kernel. 
that is while it is failing.

Comment 6 Reuben Martin 2003-07-13 10:23:35 UTC

Would you have any idea what ide support I need to add? The only difference between the kernel I'm currently running and the kernel that crashes is the highmem support. I would think that if the issue is with ide support that I would have problems with booting up reguardless of weather or not I have highmem support compiled in.

Comment 8 Reuben Martin 2003-07-13 11:34:20 UTC

Ok, some stupid mistakes. After looking at the ide settings I posted I noticed some really stupid settings, the most obvious was that I hadn't included support for the via chipset...  I got rid of support for chipsets and bugfixes for chipsets that are abviously not on my board, eneabled highmem support and everything works fine, including highmem.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y  
CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING=y  
and  
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set  
  
for an athon xp based system? you don't have an intel chipset on your system.  
might want to look @ enabling via ide chipset support in your .config?

k, glad you got it solved. trust me - that sched.c bug is pretty obvious when it happens... 
lack of proper ide support...

Wanted to document this for anyone who finds this bug

From Con Kolivas' FAQ:

"There seems to be a real problem with IDE and highmem in 2.4 and the preempt patch brings it out. The only solution is to not enable highmem (limiting you to 900Mb) or not using my patches at all. I'm looking into this but it's not just my patchset, it's any 2.4 with preempt."

http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/#faq

Apparently there are ways to sneak around it with the 3.5 user address space patch, set to 2/2, but I'm no expert.

oh, ok - i don't see it in this bug, but whatever :)

however, it was addressed here:
