Hello,

I've got an A7N8X mobo, and the same problems. 'noapic' makes the
system run much better. You also have a big interrupt count on int21.
Mine is going beserk. Top shows that almost 30% of my cpu is being
used up on hi (Hardware Interrupts I guess).
Watching /proc/interrupts reveals I get tens of thousands of
interrupts on 21 every second, disabling usb or the soundcard doesn't
help, disabling both does help. Is interrupt 21 doing something funny?

Regards,

        justin....

Ok, here's a test patch against 2.4.23-pre9 that will program the PIO
address setup time correctly on nForce IDE controllers.  I guess this should
probably be ifdefed for NFORCE if the previous values were correct for AMD
chipsets, but I'm very surprised they are different.

Let me know if this makes any difference in stability on your system.  My
hunch is it won't change much.

-Allen

Allen, 

I'm more than willing to test any patches you want me to.  I really would
like to get this whole 
hardlock problem fixed and even if we can't do that, cleaning up various
stuff would be 
a good thing. 

Many thanks, 

Ross

The PIO data setup and hold times look wrong.  Your harddrive shouldn't be
doing data PIO's anyway, but your CD-ROM will use PIO for some commands.  It
seems unlikely this is the cause of your instability, but if I make up a
test patch to set the regsisters correctly can you test it out?

Allen,

I'm more than willing to test any patches you want me to.  I really would 
like to get this whole
hardlock problem fixed and even if we can't do that, cleaning up various 
stuff would be
a good thing.

Many thanks,

Ross

The PIO data setup and hold times look wrong.  Your harddrive shouldn't be
doing data PIO's anyway, but your CD-ROM will use PIO for some commands. 
It
seems unlikely this is the cause of your instability, but if I make up a
test patch to set the regsisters correctly can you test it out?

The PIO data setup and hold times look wrong.  Your harddrive shouldn't be
doing data PIO's anyway, but your CD-ROM will use PIO for some commands.  It
seems unlikely this is the cause of your instability, but if I make up a
test patch to set the regsisters correctly can you test it out?

Just as a point of info; i have had these lockup
probs too.  Have a MSI K7N2 with nVidia TNT2
vidcard.  Using kernel 2.6.0-test9.

When i run mldonkey (file sharing) the box will
lock up solid after a random amount of time in
X no matter what combo of ACPI / no ACPI, PIO / UDMA.
Sometimes the mouse pointer keeps moving for up
to ~30 sec before it too freezes.  During this
interval there's no ATA activity and i can reboot
the box with SysReq key combos.  If i wait until
the mouse freezes then the box is completely
locked and the SysReq keys don't work anymore.

HOWEVER, if i adjust the process priority of
mldonkey to -20, then the box doesn't lock up
anymore with ACPI and local APIC enabled and will
keep running forever and even burn DVD or CD's
while playing a video rip while compiling something.
There's the sporatic ~1 sec freeze when mldonkey
grabs the whole CPU but it always comes back.

regards,

Allen,

Here are the config files you requested.  I have also included
the boot logs from both kernel versions.

Many thanks for taking an interest.

Cheers,

Hi Ross, can you post the contents of /proc/interrupts, /proc/ide/amd74xx
and /proc/ide/ide*/config, and also the output of "hdparm -I /dev/hd*" for
each of your ATA / ATAPI devices?

If the PIO and UDMA modes are setup correctly I can't think of anything
inside the IDE driver that should be causing random lockups.  I'd be much
more suspicious of ACPI / APIC / interrupt setup.

The same problem with nforce2 mobos on the latest 2.4.
It hangs. The only solution is to disable local APIC in BIOS.
After that it seems that there are no hangups.

Interesting, I'll search through lkml for that.  The only thing
I can say is that we're not seeing that on nForce3 w/x86_64, which
is the only nforce mb I have access to, and it uses basically the
same driver.

Brad,

My problem is one of the infamous nforce2 hardlockups.  You don't get any
kernel panic or anything that useful.  The system just locks up completely
and has to be manually reset.

The problem is known to associate with IDE activity and is thought (as far
as I know) to originate somewhere in the IDE driver.

Cheers,

Ross

Hmm, interesting. The patches I submitted were strictly
for IDE/ATA133 improvements, apparently your problems don't
lie there.  I'd assume this was a kernel panic you had, any
output available that would tell you where it paniced ?

Brad,

I'm running an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo (nforce2 chipset) and still
getting hardlockups.  I applied your patch but my system still locked
up after about a day.  However 2.6.0-test5 seems to be stable.  I have
had my system up for over three weeks with APIC and ACPI turned on.

Just to let you know,

Ross
