Greetings;
Machine is a new Biostar M7NCD-Pro mobo, with an athlon 2800 XP that says its a 2800 in the bootup so it not overclocked, nor is it too warm, showing 125F right now. It did take some non-default bios settings to achieve that, the default running the memory as DDR333, but the cpu as a 3200+, which understandably didn't always want to post!
Kernel is 2.6.8-rc2, with the forcedeth driver using the builtin ethernet on this board. The mobo has a Gig of ram which signs on in the bios as "DDR400 Dual Channel Mode Enabled (etc)"
I just re-entered the room from a few hours of other work, and found this machine had apparently crashed. I was not able to ssh into it from the firewall, or make it respond to the vulcan nerve pinch, so I hit the reset button and waited for about 120G of hard drives to fsck.
This is the 2nd, or maybe the third time this has happened since I put in this new mobo, which passes a half a days run on memtest86 with no errors. I *think* I've got the APIC stuff turned off in the bios, and I'm not using it in the kernel as I want this box to run 24/7.
The only screen blanker is a blank, black screen.
This is the only log entries made at what must have been its untimely demise: ---------------------- Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 5f697461 Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: printing eip: Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: c0164376 Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: *pde = 00000000 Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: PREEMPT Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: Modules linked in: tuner tvaudio bttv video_buf btcx_risc eeprom snd_seq_oss snd_seq _midi_event snd_seq snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_bt87x snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_allo c snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd 8139too forcedeth sg Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: CPU: 0 Jul 24 15:37:39 coyote kernel: EIP: 0060:[<c0164376>] Not tainted Jul 24 21:25:59 coyote syslogd 1.4.1: restart. ----------------------- Previously, there was nothing in the logs at all, so this trail is a first.
Is there anything of interest here? What else can I supply that might help aim a finger at something besides the operator, who wasn't even in the room at the time :)
