Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 5:31 pm Post subject: Just another problem with 2.6.7 and nvidia... [SOLVED] |
|
|
I have tried to use the gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.7-gentoo) and the latest nvidiadriver ( NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:29:26 PST 2004 ) as said in this forum but everytime i try to startx i only get a black screen.
I am not using the 4kb stack option:
# Kernel hacking
#
# CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not set
syslog shows the following:

If anybody cares i was able to solve the problem.
It was caused by the ehci_hcd module that was loaded on boot.
Although i don't have any usb 2.0 compliant devices the kernel loaded the module and after not finding any devices the logfile showed the following:
irq 5: nobody cared!
So it seems the kernel "deactivated" the interrupt after not finding any usb 2.0 devices. Unhappily irq 5 is also used by the nvidia module so the kernel wasn't able to access the graficboard which caused the hardlock.
The following thread helped me solving this problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=188410 |

Whoopee!! Someone has finally tracked down the cause of the nvidia black screen X bug!
I can confirm that removing EHCI (USB 2.0) support from my 2.6.7 kernel is the only way of fixing this issue, along with losing USB 2.0 support.
It seems like a brand new bug in the 2.6.7 kernel. Roll on 2.6.8! |

You got that right, but not only nForce it seems. My nVidia inspiron also suffers |

hmmz,
no nforce2 chipset.. p4c800 deluxe motherboard.
gentoo-dev 2.6.7 without usb-ehci neither compiled in nor loaded as a module.
---> IRQ #18.. Nobody Cares
Anyone have an idea? I tried kernels with the following module-combinations:
- only ohci
- only uhci
- ehci and uhci
- ehci and ohci..
Problem persists with Gentoo-dev 2.6.7, while Gentoo-dev 2.6.5-r1 is perfectly allright. |

Try "cat /proc/interrupts" on your shell and take a look which modules are mapped to irq 18. |

Under 2.6.5-r1 (where I can boot into the system):
Code: |
16: 145358 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd
18: 12989 0 IO-APIC-level ide2, ide3, uhci_hcd
19: 76 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd
|
--> it is the uhxi_hcd, and the ide-channels.
accoridng to lspci -v I do need uhci : (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) on several occasions.
hmmz.. IS kernel 2.6.7 just b0rked? |

iv been using 2.6.7 for awhile and only just last week got the black screen problem. see my posts at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=215506
is there an version that works from just before that time? what could have caused it. i do use usb2 so is there a version that works?
edit:
so i answered my own question through trial and error. development-sources-2.6.8.1 worked for me using nvidia drivers version 1.0.6111 |
