Dear sirs,
I have a problem with a dual athlon xp running fedora/4
with the 2.6.14-1 kernel. Hard locks. Please if anyone
knows a solution or workaround please contact me at
cars@bio.unipd.it. Many thanks and keep up the best
work.
fda
[1.] Machine lock
[2.] Server randomly locks up without any error
or message.
[3.] kernel
[4.] uname -r : 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp
[5.] in the last lockup I have found this only
line in /var/log/messages:
Feb 2 15:27:32 telethon kernel: kernel BUG at lib/kernel_lock.c:199!
[6.] not reproducible - random error
[7.]
[7.1] standard fedora 4 install - nothing new added, just the
drivers for the nv graphic board.

Adding the binary only nvidia module is not a little thing.
That driver is a closed source binary blob that noone here has a
chance to debug.
You can switch to the 'nv' driver and see if you still have the
problem. The nv driver won't give you accelerated 3D, but for 2D it
should work just fine.

Please try to reproduce without the nvidia driver ever being loaded -
just unloading it is *not* good enough, it needs to have never been
loaded at all.
As long as that (or any other binary-only module for that matter) has
been loaded into the kernel for just a second it's impossible to say
if that module or some other part of the kernel is the cause of the
problem.

I suggest also if you want the kernel guys to help debug your problem, and not
your distributor, that you upgrade to at least 2.6.15.2 and confirm the fault
still exists.
Of course, Jesper is 100% correct about binary modules.

Jesper,
okay I will see if I can resolve this issue by removing the
module (and, obviously, making it so that it does not get
loaded at all). One more thing I noticed way up in the message
log (hadn't noticed them at first):
Feb 2 15:32:53 telethon ainit: Memory: Failed to release semaphore
Feb 2 15:32:53 telethon ainit: Error: No such file or directory

Feb 2 15:32:53 telethon ainit: Error: No such file or directory
Feb 2 15:32:53 telethon ainit: No such file or directory
looked it up on google and it seems to be related to a bug
that causes the kernel to lock under various circumstances,
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/12/282
I wonder if it's related to the hardlock I'm having here.
Thanks again for the kind feedback.
fda
