trying to get a stable system.
ive got
"kernel /boot/bzImage pci=noapci apic root=/dev/hda3"
as my boot line in grub.conf


Code:

ive modprobed ndiswrapper and adm8211 and then it falls over after an irregular period ( usually several 10s of minutes) like this


with ndiswrapper and adm8211 modprobed
Code:

if no modules are loaded it appears stable.

Ive had it lockup ( blank screen needing a power-off restart) with just ndiswrapper loaded. Ndiswrapper is needed for the wired nw card.
Ive activated kernel hacking - happy to post output is someone tells me what im looking for

looking at dmesg after modprobing adm8211 and ndiswrapper is this - suspicious ?
Code:

chickcam ~ #



there is an option in the kernel config about 4 stacks - relevant ?

BTW This is a non-GUI server - is there any way I con stop the console screen blanking , so I can hopefully see any more error messages that appear ?

Hi.

To prevent the console screen from blanking, you just need to run setterm -blank 0. If you want to keep the setting after rebooting, you should do
Code:
# echo “setterm –blank n” >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

I've heard of a lot of problems where ndiswrapper breaks because it overflows the kernel stack. I assume this is whats happening because it is occuring after a seemingly random period of time. I reccomend either getting a new wireless card or downloading a kernel with a 16k stack patch. Try googling for some.

but it locks up without ndiswrapper.

Currently its locks with via_rhine,adm8211, quickcam/videodev modprobed. Im going though them to see if any particular combination , but it seems to be ANY module.

Ive activated the kernel hacking debugging stuff and doing tail -f /var/log/everything/current to see if it catches anything but nothing is coming up

still struggling

If I modprobe ndiswrapper, via_rhine or adm8211 modules, run top and leave it , the machine locks up after between 1 hr 14mins and 1 hr 20mins.

Ive taken the top off and got lots of airflow and had a desk fan blowing over it and it still locks up

latest error message Ive caught:

It's acpi !! So try with pci=noacpi or was it acpi=off :roll:

Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Are you doing anything on this machine with virtual file-systems? Accessing a server?

Let's start by trying to 'box in' the problem. Under what conditions is the machine known to be completely stable, for hours on end? List them all...

Also... can you, from the traceback etc, locate the exact points in the kernel source-code where the system is going down? Map these addresses, traceback instruction-dumps and so forth back to the source-code.

the grub boot line is
kernel /boot/bzImage pci=noacpi apic root=/dev/hda3
sorry for typos
ACPI is disabled in the bios ( and I get a dmesg message to that effect as it starts up )

its unstable if the modules ndiswrapper,via-rhine or adm8211 are modprobed singly
its stable if there are no modules or only ieee_crypt_wep is modprobed

it locks if via-rhine is compiled in the kernel

edit :[/quote]more info

it it locked up with a system booted with knoppix.
is my problem similar to these ?

http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/15/drivers/net/via-rhine.c
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kerne/2004-07/2591.html

googling linux 2.6 kernel and via-rhine brings up quite a bit that all refers to problems.

I dont know why my system falls over when via-rhine is loaded though .

Who should I pas this information on to ?[/gwn]
