| |
Hi, I am wondering if maybe there are any lingering Athlon bugs in Kernel 2.4.14?
I basically have a 33-node AMD Athlon Beowulf Cluster using the KT266 chipset. I compiled kernel 2.4.14 optimized for athlons.
If I leave the computers up for several days, without fail random nodes in the beowulf start to drop like flies. Every other day, a different, random node will get those Aiiiee messages and complain about some virtual page request being invalid or somesuch, hanging the machine.
I am sure all the machines have good hardware as we ran thorough tests on the machines using things like memtest86. I only started experiencing problems since upgrading the kernels from the stock redhat kernels that came with those machines.
I haven't yet tried just compiling the kernel without the Athlon optimizations. I was wondering, though, if there are any known or suspected issues with Athlons and the latest kernel?
Any help/advice/thoughts/even flames would be appreciated... :)
