How to deal with kernel oops and Core Hardlocks... ?
« on: January 23, 2008, 01:31:22 pm »
Hi,

I'm getting a lot of kernel oops and sometimes also my LMCE 704 Core hardlocks (only HW reset helps)....

I'm spotting one weird problem :
1. I see kernel Oops or Eeek messages only if I'm connected via ssh at that time. if I search in syslog,messages or dmesg logs aftewards, I can't find any kernel messages Oops or Eeek in them. Do we have some setting to prevent this ? I get 1-2 lockups per day on my core but can't see kernel messages that describe cause of hard lockup... How to deal with this ?

2. How to see if kernel message it just kernel error causing hardlock trouble and is not related to any HW failure ?

3. How would be the procedure to rule out HW failure causes for hard lockups ? I've tried to rum memtest for 1 day and no errors were found in memory. I'm not sure how to check if anything is wrong with disks ? My disks seem not to have support for SMART health check...

4. I've seen all my kernel messages already reported on proper places for that (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/107325)
I need just to wait and try new kernels or is there anything else that needs to be done ?


Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

 Hi Bulek,

 I'm not sure if this is related to your issue but most of the hard lockups i had were eighter hardware related or gfx related. on some of my machines i had to disable acpi and play around with the gfx related bios setting and also with memory timings.

 Regards,

Rafik
