Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2003 7:01 am Post subject: Help! OOps (kwsapd) on large emerges |
|
|
I have installed the base system up to the end of the install-quide, with no problems, but am having some problems with emerge when doing large programs. First one was xfree, and it failed a number of times if i did
an
emerge xfree
it would run for hours (unattended) and then crash/freeze the system with the
following message on screen : Oops: 002 - something to do with kwap then a regiister dump of some sort..
I tries this three time, and then finally i decided to do a bit at a time ie looking at the output of
emerge -pD xfree, and going down the list.
This worked.
Next i tried installing kino, and again, i had the same oops: 002 on kswapd - again this was a long unattended overnight emerge attempt.
this was worked around the same way as the xfree install.
Then i tried to emerge gnome overnight, also this also failed. same error - freeze, requires hard reset
Am currently installing gnome in parts, done up to nautilus so far, continuing on the last 26 packages
My system:
Clevo 2700T laptop
Pentium3 1.13
256M RAM shared (16M used by Video chip)
Sis900 Ethernet
Sis630 VGA
sis5513 IDE controller
sis7018 Audio
TI PCI4410 firewire
I mainly want to use this for IEEE1394 to capture and output data to/from my Sony TRV330E (PAL) camcorder - using kino/dvgrab/dvconnect.
My compile setting are -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe
and theres enough space on the disk
hda8 ~1G partition for portage temp files
hda5 ~2G partition for / (including boot) all in same partition
hda7 ~15G vfat (shared data)
hda1 ~1G vfat (win98)
any ideas? _________________ ----

If you're not using the vanilla sources, I'd suggest switching. On some setups I've found that the gentoo-sources and gaming-sources can be a bit flakey. |

I've seen that on laptops, a number of people have reported they need to set the cpu fan to continueos on. It sounds like the heat is building up on the long emerges cause the cpu is used nearly 100%. Check your bios and set it on untill your done emergeing then switch it back to auto. _________________ Brian

Do you have a swap partition? If so how large? |

Yes, I'm using gentoo-sources, not the vanilla one
There isnt any setting to turn on the fan, its automatic, and it seems to be always on during emerges.
The laptop does get hot, why should that be a problem?, ie I've never had a problem with heat even when i used to create Divx's (for many hours) on Windoze. _________________ ----
