"kernel BUG" when stopping xdm? (only with ati-dri

  • Quote

Post by hiroki » Fri Mar 03, 2006 9:37 am

Hi,

I have a problem with the ATI-drivers (8.22.5). I am using xorg-x11-7.0-r1. I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9600.

I have two configurations:
  • using the ati-drivers (fglrx)
  • using the xorg-x11-driver radeon (r300)
When using the ATI-drivers/fglrx I can start X (xdm) only once. As soon as I stop xdm, I get the following "kernel BUG" message:
------------[ cut here ]------------

But I can still work on the terminal. But as soon as I try to start X (xdm) again, my computer freezes, showing the terminal. I have to turn off the laptop and turn it on again.
If I use the xorg-driver (radeon/r300) I have no problems at all, I can stop and start X/xdm as often as I want, no problem.
Oh yeah, something else: if I try to unload the fglrx module (when X (xdm) is stopped) then the laptop freezes, too. Need to reboot then.

So my question is: why is that? And how can I fix it? I absolutely have no idea :(

My computer has a Ati Radeon video board. and I have no problem with it. Exploring your xorg.conf you ar using a strange video adapter "fglrx" (try ati) . My sugestion is to try my configuration (in this part)

the "fglrx" is because of the ati-drivers, and is not the cause of the problem.

I too experiences this, on my T42/Raedon 9600. It's defintely a bug and should be reported...

On a side note, I think this also causes the CRT out to break. I can't get any projector output under X, only under console.

Peter

Are you guys using the 2.6.15 kernel?
It won't work with most ATI drivers atm

I tried to upgrade to the 2.6.15, but downgraded due to the ati driver not working nicely

There is a new ati driver, hopefully it won't be long to its in portage

I've the same problem (using fglrx driver), and I've noticed that if I comment "Load glx" in my xorg.conf, all works well apart the 3D acceleration...Are there ideas?? 8O

same problem here. When using ati-drivers >8.21.7-r1 I get a Kernel-panic when shuting down the system, during stopping gdm (hard freeze, only turning off with the powerbutton works). Same thing happens if I unload the fglrx-module with rmmod. I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1, my card is a mobility radeon M10 (9700 Mobility). The new 8.23.7 driver didn't help, still freezing.

it's a kernel problem, newer driver/glibc 2.4 does not fix this.

Make sure you have the correct AGP driver for your motherboard (eg. intel-agp), and try setting UseFastTLS to 2 in xorg.conf.

Same here...
Kernel 2.6.15-r7
fglrx 8.22.5

after i changed my mouse settings to this:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option     "Protocol" "evdev"
        Option        "Dev Name" "Razer Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse" # cat /proc/bus/input/devices
        Option        "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0" # cat /proc/bus/input/devices
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" # /dev/input/event0 works too
        Option      "Resolution" "2000"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option      "buttons" "7"
     Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off" 
its not possible to start up gdm, it crashs directly after the start command....
no prob to start up with "normal" mouse settings ... but then it crashs if i try to stop the gdm or wanne reboot.

UseFastTLS = "2" also dont solve the prob... ^^

okay ... found my start up problem ...
there was a typO in in mouse device setting ...

so gdm starts up again... but the crashes after shutting down gdm, it still there...

i also tested out the "new" ATI 8.23.7 driver... no changes...

Thought I'd just add my 2 cents as well.
I'm having the exact same problem - kernel panic after unloading X then trying to reload it.
Can't be sure when it first started, but it must be very recent...

Could it be gcc 4/glibc2.4 related?

not really, I'm using stable gcc-3.4.4 and glibc-2.3.5-r2...

I love forum search! ;)

I am having the exact same problem, with the same errors in the log file. GDM crashes on re-start .. INITIAL system start is fine tho. This means I can never log out :roll:

LUCKILY I can log in using openssh from the windows box (putty) in the other room here in order to do a clean shut-down/reboot with the reboot command.

Code: Select all

kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 XT Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5582 (8.21.7)

You sunk my battle ship!

Could it be model specific? I have a 9800 XT in my work horse, but my laptop (which doesn't seem to experience the problem) has a mobile 9800.

I'm experiencing this on a laptop with an Radeon 9700 Mobility (as I wrote before), and the hiroki and pmouse seem to have a Mobility 9600. So at least it isn't one specific model, but it seems (from all who have postet which cards they use) that it affects the 9x00 series.

What I noticed when I read through the thread once more is: it seems that everyone is using gentoo-sources. Maybe its related to one of the gentoo-patches? I'll go and give vanilla-sources a try (altough this means that some other things may stop working)...

[EDIT]
Just installed vanilla-sources-2.6.15.1 and ati-drivers-8.23.7 and it shows the same behavior as before. I still get the kernel bug when stoping xdm :cry:. So gentoo-patches aren't the problem.

So ... gdm starts perfectly, but any further gdm stop/start causes it to seize up. The kernel itself is still running, but any local user is now blocked from shell/GUI access. Remote SSH connections work perfectly tho so the system, as a whole, is intact and operating.

The $100 question is "what is different about subsequent gdm operations with regard to the initial one?"

If it works the first time, why does it completely freeze on any further executions??
