Subject: More info on port 80 symptoms on MCP51 machine.
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:07:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47603F66.3070108@reed.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <475EEC75.80609@keyaccess.nl>
Sadly, I've been busy with other crises in my day job for the last few
days. I did modify Rene's test program and ran it on my "problem"
machine, with the results below.
The interesting part of this is that port 80 seems to respond to "in"
instructions faster than the presumably "unused" ports 0xEC and 0XEF
(those were mentioned by someone as alternatives to port 80).
That, and the fact that the port 80 test reliably freezes the machine
solid the second time it is run, and the "hwclock" utility reliably
hangs the machine if the port 80's are used in the CMOS_READ/CMOS_WRITE
loop, seems to strongly indicate that this chipset or motherboard
actually uses port 80, rather than there being a bus problem.
Someone might have an in to nVidia to clarify this, since I don't. In
any case, the udelay(2) approach seems to be a safe fix for this machine.
Hope input from an "outsider" is helpful in going forward. I put a lot
of time and effort into tracking down this problem on this particular
machine model, largely because I like the machine.
Running the (slightly modified to test ports 80, ec, ef instead of just
port 80) test when the 2 GHz max speed CPU is running at 800 MHz, here's
what I get for port 80 and port ec and port ef.
port 80: cycles: out 1430, in 792
port ef: cycles: out 1431, in 1378
port ec: cycles: out 1432, in 1372
