PostPosted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 1:16 pm    Post subject: New X2 machine Reply with quote

I just upgraded my desktop machine to an AMD X2 +4200, MSI Neo4 Plat., 1GB Dual Channel, 250G Maxtor SATA, Asus EN6600GT, Dell 2005FPW.

I now have pretty much all of it working. The 2005.0 cd (amd64 universal) booted without any problems. Did a stage 3 and installed the 2.6.12-r4 kernel.

Network (the nforce one), sata ctrl., sensors, onboard sound works.

Nvidia driver works using the 7174 version.
Cool'n'Quiet/powernow-k8 would 'Ooops' the kernel. There is a patch from AMD for the 2.6.12-r6 that will fix the problem, so ondemand freq. scaling now works. The patch can also be applied to the 2.6.12-r4 kernel

The only thing not working yet is the bootsplash. I just get a black screen until I start X.

All in all, a relatively easy install, only the Cool'n'Quiet gave some problems - I suspect the bootsplash in something I overlooked.

The same. Had a Winchester 3200+ and now a dual-core X2 Toledo 4400+ (with sse3).

The kernel on the live-CD would hang the system - probably due to cool & quiet enabled in the BIOS. I made my Gentoo fresh install of kernel 2.6.12-r4 using the Ubuntu amd64 live-CD.

Totally hangs up.

I'm thinking about going the dual-core route whenever Intel gets their act together, and I'm wondering what stuff you had to do in the kernel to get both cores working (besides enabling SMP). How do you know both cores are working? Is there some way you can tell the kernel is distributing procs evenly?

To tell if both cores are working... look through the output of

Code:
dmesg

As for scheduling... look at the output of ksysguard, or your favourite... mine seems to be evenly balanced.

I also have an X2 4200+ on an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. I have been running Fedora Core 4 but I have to boot the SMP kernel with noapic to get it to boot.

I have used the Gentoo Universal 2005.0 cd to compile kernel 2.6.12-r6. It also will only boot with noapic. Otherwise I get the same error I had on Fedora about an invalid bios APIC entry. I am using bios 1.7B2.

kim_it, or anyone else, what bios version are you using and what did you do to get gentoo to boot without the noapic setting?

Thanks
Danny

Here's what I'm using to bootup, I'm 2.6.13-rc1 and haven't felt like upgrading the kernel since I got everything working just right. I've got some odd options in there, since I needed them to keep my system clock from running too fast. I'm on the DFI SLI board.

Code:
title  2.6.13_SMP
root (hd0,1)
kernel /2.6.13-rc1 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31A pci=biosirq pci=noacpi pci=irqroute

I have tried the vanilla 2.6.13-r3 and the 2.6.13-r3mm, with all sort's of options.

This is the dmesg output, and to me it looks like the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinums have a bios issue:

2007 then, seriously the marking droids did a really good job of screwing intels product line.

as for monitoring cpu usage well even top will tell you the load on each cpu, you can even bind apps to specific cpus if you feel like it.

DOScott, APIC is enabled in the bios right.

Here's the config file from 2.6.13-rc1 I'm using if anyone's interested

Yes, and I've tried both 1.4 and 1.1 settings. The only post I have found anywhere with someone using this board with dual core working under linux is kim_it, and I'm wondering if he actually checked that both cores are operating.

Hi DOScott

I'm using the same board as you (MSI Neo4 Platinium) with an Athlon 64 X2 4400+, but I don't have this BIOS bug. Which BIOS version are you using? I've flashed the version 1.5 before installing gentoo.

Actually I used the neo4 sli with the same settings that I'm using on the DFI, and yes both cores were detected and loads were distributed between them. I just swapped boards at my work since the DFI's been better for overclocking.

edmondo, I'm using 1.7B2

I am going to flash back to 1.5 and see if it makes a difference.

Hi edmondo, I flashed back to 1.5 and still no luck.

I know it's a lot to ask, but could you give your bios setting and possibly post your kernel config file.

Thanks

DOScott, APIC is enabled in the bios right.


Yes, and I've tried both 1.4 and 1.1 settings. The only post I have found anywhere with someone using this board with dual core working under linux is kim_it, and I'm wondering if he actually checked that both cores are operating.


I'm pretty sure they both work: I upgraded the board's BIOS to 1.5.

kim_it, thank you very much for posting that info. Our bios blocks were so different I knew it had to be something there.

When I flash I always use the 'don't overwrite' bootblock flag to keep from killing the board. So I flashed again without it. When I rebooted I went back into the bios, and the Enable IOAPIC option was on and couldn't be changed - which I thought must be a good sign.

Now I have both core's running.

Again, thanks to everyone that contributed to getting this figured out.

Glad you are sorted... and please now add [SOLVED] to the topic!

No problem ;-)
May I go a bit more offtopic? Maybe I should open a new thread, but here a short question. Is it possible to flash the BIOS directly from linux? I've always to use a floppy drive somewhere with a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk and this sucks. I cannot believe there is no other solution. How do you flash your BIOS?

All of my computers allow me to flash my BIOS straight from the BIOS... It is one of the options on the main BIOS screen.

Rob.

I have never used the built-in option myself. I have a usb stick with a Windows ME boot disk image on it and use it.
