it may work 5 minute or 2 hours and then freezes. Magic key not working. But it normally runs for days without any problem at preempt SMP kernel on uniprocessor system, and not preempt UP kernel on the same uniprocessor system. gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r2 nvidia-kernel-1.0.7664 xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 p.s. preempt is preempt + preempt big kernel lock. I didn't try preempt without preempt big kernel lock.
Are still able to move your mousepointer when the freeze occurs and have a line starting with NVRM: Xid: in the systemlog? Can you ssh to the box and see x consume all processor?
dead means dead, and when kernel doesn't react on Alt-SysRq means in almost all cases that it has no time to write something in log. now testing 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 preempt UP, but with additionaly MSI turned off btw my hardware is PCI-E GF6600 on EpoX 9NPAJ
same issue with 2.6.12-gentoo-r4
it seems ok with 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 and NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7676
(In reply to comment #4) > it seems ok with 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 and NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7676 It doens't seem to be ok for me :((((( Exactly the same behavior like max loparyev said.
If you still have issues w/ current x11-drivers/{nvidia-drivers,nvidia-legacy-drivers} and uptodate kernels, file a new bug. Thanks.
