SubjectRe: [2.4] Nforce2 oops and occasional hang (tried the lockups patch, no difference)
Date
Oh, and the modules list: 
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
i2c-dev 4548 0 (unused)
i2c-core 13604 0 [i2c-dev]
<snip>


I am not certain your problems are nforce2 type specific.
Standard response: I don't suppose you can try a different stick of ram?

The reason I say that is that oops were very uncommon on either the
epox 8rga+ or albatron km18G-pro MOBOS upon which I developed my
patches. Hard lockups were pretty much all I experienced prior to the
patches except for an occasional X fail. Base OS flavour I
use is Suse 8.2 including gcc version (web updates utilised)

The udma patches are really just a cleanup on the address setup timing so
I do not think that they are a factor.

The local apic ack delay timing patch needs athlon cpu and amd/nvidia ide on in
kern config to kick in. If you are using it then I highly recommend uniprocessor
ioapic config as well to go with it to route the 8254 timer irq0 through pin 0 of
ioapic as using the apic config alone leaves a lot of ints generated on irq7
which can cause problems. (Reason for 8259 making them spurious on irq7
is explained in 8259A data sheet)

Also I now use a small patch to fixup proc info - only if you are using
the 64 bit jiffies var hz patch, avail here:

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-12/0838.html

If you try acpi=off on boot and it is then not very stable then I think it has
little to do with lockups patch as that is my fallback mode when I am
playing with apic ioapic code.

Another fallback I use at times is

hdparm -Xudma3 /dev/hda

Hope this helps the confusion

Regards
Ross.
