There are lots of us throwing out our Tyan S2466 based systems as fast as we can. After a while they start exhibiting the behavior you're seeing (hard locks (no OOPS available)) at random times that are very hard to diagnose/resolve. See the beowulf list archives for a fair bit of discussion of this. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

dvd burner - really slow response
by steve_dum＠mentorg.com 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I'm running FC3 with the 2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp kernel. If I put a dvd in my drive, fire up k3b and ask for disk info k3b goes away for 7 minutes -- SEVEN MINUTES -- and then comes back and and shows the disk info. Same disk on a RH 8 system comes back in a few seconds. I have a Hi-Val "DVD RW 4XMax" (iomagic DD0203) 4x dvd +/-R writer. There are no messages logged in /var/log messages and no errors reported by k3b. The above is a specific behavior, but in general reading or writing dvd's takes forever. Drive worked fine under FC1. Reading/writing cd-r media doesn't show these excessive delays but also is slower than under FC1. While waiting, the drive activity light tends to be either off, or occasionally blinking, but not constantly busy. Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this, or if there is a workaround. I didn't see any issues listed in bugzilla. steve

korganizer leaves me disorganized
by Jonathan Corbet 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Since I did a rawhide update in late November, korganizer has refused to come up and run. December turned out to be a month in which any plans I had made became irrelevant anyway, but now I'm really trying to resume something like an ordinary life, and that means remembering my appointments. I bugzilla'd it a month ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141761 but the only activity was one "me too" posting. It seems korganizer is pretty low on the list of priorities - wish I had the time to try to figure it out myself. Instead I'll ask: anybody else seeing this, or is it just me? Anybody got a workaround? Thanks, jon Jonathan Corbet Executive editor, LWN.net corbet(a)lwn.net

FC3 on Dell 670n using Devel Boot Image?
by Thomas J. Baker 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144367 I've got a Dell 670n that I want to install fc3/64 on but I get a kernel panic when the installer loads the ata_piix kernel module. I can somewhat continue after the panic but installation hangs soon after. I can boot the current x86_64 boot.img in the devel tree and that works fine but when I point it at the non-devel fc3/64 tree, it won't install that. If I use the standard fc3/64 boot disk with noprobe, I get no keyboard so I can't continue. I want to run fc3/64. What's the best way to get a newer kernel in an installer? tjb --- ======================================================================= | Thomas Baker email: tjb(a)unh.edu | | Systems Programmer | | Research Computing Center voice: (603) 862-4490 | | University of New Hampshire fax: (603) 862-1761 | | 332 Morse Hall | | Durham, NH 03824 USA http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/~tjb | =======================================================================

Re: Problems reading and writing C/Ds and DVDs on FC3
by gslink 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

The version of the CD burner supplied with FC3 shows a message on first startup saying that it works only for root user. This is true. Every instance we tried gave a false error on each and every burn which said that the CD or DVD just burned was bad. We checked these and found them to be perfect. In addition there is a notice in the code saying that this version has been changed to burn DVDs and not to bother the author with bugs. There is a bug which sometimes prevents ejecting the CD and when this happens you must force the CD out and reboot. You know there is trouble because the CD mounts but no icon appears on the desktop. This happens elsewhere besides in the burner. Attempting to verify a CD with the burner also seems to fail as the burner program usually can't find the CD to be verified and returns a no CD message. This may be due to changing the CD address from RH9 It would help if someone could post out the exact fix for the ejection problem as I suspect many of these other problems are related.

It turns out that the other dual AMD we have has the Tyan S2466 motherboard and it has NEVER locked up! So what is the preferred motherboard for the AMD Athlon MP? Thanks. Tom Browder

I'm running an FC 1 box with 2.6.5 kernel (hardware identical to the ones running FC 2 and FC 3 kernels with hang problems) with an uptime of over 15 days since intentional reboot. To the best of my memory it has never locked or hung up through RH 8, RH 9, and FC 1. I am now testing the 727 kernel on one problem child (with acpi=no) and hope it can chug along for more than 3 days (about my max uptime since FC 2). Tom Browder
