IO-APIC problem

Hello,

When I boot my recently updated SuSE Linux 9.0, the bootup messages tell 
that "an unexpected IO-APIC was found". I don't know what that means, 
but the message tell me to to report it to this mailing list, and that 
is what I am doing.
I enclose the first part of the boot messages.

(How did I discover these messages about APIC?
I am trying to install a driver for a WLAN USB stick, but it doesn't 
work, so I am examining all log-files etc. to find out what is the problem.)

Thanks,

Jørgen

smp hanging problem

Dear SMP list,

I am running red hat Linux (AS2.1) Kernel:2.4.9-e.40smp
on a Dell Poweredge 2650
Perc/3di RAID 5 (five 72GB disks)
The main applications are
1) NFS exporting home directories to other servers on the second 100mbit 
broadcom interface
2) apache and samba servers using the first broadcom which is attached 
to the Internet.
The system is locking up (hanging) mysteriously (sometimes with kernel 
panic sometime with no message) and it is causing immense frustration.
Over the course of investigating this problem we have :
replaced the motherboard (wrong)
replaced a powersupply (probably wrong)
replaced a dead hard drive(relevant)
and we have spent much time (with Dell's support) updating Linux and all 
software packages and the problem
still persists although it has been stable for a few days now.

If anyone can suggest anything to do I would greatly appreciate it.

Bill

dual opteron problems

Hi all,

i just bought a new 2x244 opteron,tyan tiger k8s 2870,
4gb registered ecc ram system. no addional cards
inserted, only one IDE and one SATA device.

i tried to run the setup with the original debian
kernel 2.6.6-1-k7-smp, but the system hangs right
after the line "initrd-tools: 0.1.69".

so i downloaded the sources for 2.6.6 and compiled
them myself, optimized for dual opteron. unluckily
exactly the same happens.

when i enable the apic 2.0 support in the bios, the
system hangs even ealier right after the first
"calibrating delay loop...".

when i boot the system with the "nosmp" and apic 2.0
disabled (normal apic still enabled) the system
hangs somewhere after "hda: max request size...".

the only way to get the system running is to fully
disable the apic support in the bios and run the
system with "nosmp". ((

i hope that anyone could help me,
corin

Re: dual opteron problems

Hi again,

one thing left:
when i boot using the 2.4.26-k7-smp kernel, the system also
hangs. sometimes when saying "loading data into ramdisk.."
and sometimes later. one time a "decompression error..."
was displayed. when i boot using "nosmp", the system
boots fine. with the 2.4.26 kernel, i dont need to disable
APIC completely.
