Dell PowerEdge 1400SC, Server Works Chipset ServerWorks CNB20LE Fujitsu MAN318MP (18.2GB 10KRPM Ultra 160) Adaptec AIC-7899P U160 onboard dual channel SCSI Formatting large partitions when using the SMP kernel on the pentium3 Live CD results in hard lock up. This was reproduced several times using mkraid, mkreiserfs, mke2fs. Occurs with and without framebuffer. When running non-smp kernel, formats fine. Searched the Kernel mailing lists and googled on the symptoms but didn't see anything that caught my eye. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot pentium live CD with SMP mode and nodma=ide (serverworks bug aparently) 2. Create 3 partition on a SCSI drive, sda1=50M, sda2=512M, sda3=rest 3. format sda1 as ext2, mkswap on sda2, format sda3 as any filesystem and it will lock up. Rebooting and attempting to just format sda3 again results in another lockup. Actual Results: Console and network freezes, system must be manually rebooted. Expected Results: Format partition with out issue output of dmesg: Linux version 2.4.20-xfs-r3 (root@ToyRoom) (gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207)) #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 02:32:07 Local time zone must be set-- see zic BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001fffe000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000001fffe000 - 0000000020000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff80000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 511MB LOWMEM available.

Again here's a related one from my same outage incident that I'll second, I've seen a similar but different problem which is probably related. The hardware in question is a dual P3-600 (440GX, old VA Linux ClusterCity nodes). The non-smp kernel doesn't boot at all, but that's acceptable. The "smp" kernel on the x86 livecds works fine for all purposes. The "pentium3" livecd's smp kernel, however, does a hard lockup with no panic message when I raidstart any software raid5 device. Since x86 works fine and p3 has the bug, all other factors being identical, I'm guessing your p3 optimizations on the smp kernel are causing some stability problems.
Well, non-smp works fine for me. I did the install to stage-3 with the non-smp kernel. Then built my kernel with the linux-gs sources using the P3 process opts and SMP. I need to run a diff of my .config and the stock gentoo to see what the differnce is because it runs fine now. Just the boot kernel. I'll run the diffs tonight and report back. -Bill
I've experienced strangely similar lockup problems with my Poweredge 4300 (440GX) and a Unisys ES5045 (440NX). No problems were encountered during any phase of compiling when either system was booted off of the Livecd, but after rebooting off the compiled kernel the system is subject to random freezes with no errors/debugging messages. The bug seems most likely to strike during compile jobs for me. On the PE4300, rebooting with a single processor and a terminator resulted in clean running. This could potentially be a problem only encountered with 440-series chipsets.
Correction: The ES5045 uses a 450NX chipset, not a 440NX.
similar problems on a Dell Precision 420, AIC-7899 dual channel and smp after booting smp from the cd #rmmod aic7xxx #modprobe aic7xxx_old Seems that are lingering problems with smp and aic7xxx.
I had the same problem with a box I'm building from old parts. The card is an AHA-2940, and aic7xxx would reliably lock up the box under an smp kernel. 2.6.0 from kernel.org seems to be immune. Also, Mandrake 9.2 does not have this problem. I think version 6.2.33 of the aic7xxx driver has this problem (which is in the gentoo sources on the 20030911 cds), but 6.2.35 (in 2.6.0) and 6.2.36 (in gentoo 2.4.22-r1, and in Mandrake 9.2) are immune.
Do newer kernels without the aic patch help this?
Yes, I have the same. Everytime lockup when trying to format the /dev/sda3 when formating with normal-uniprocessor-kernel the job is done (expectably) when rebooted with smp-kernel the #mount command for the third partition goes into nirvana (see #42652 my actual report)
