| |
Hi, My new machine (P133, Abit Triton II (430HX) m/b, 16Megs EDO RAM, S3 Trio64V+ graphics, Quantum Sirocco 1.7Gb HD, CD-56E TEAC CDRom, EZ-2000+ (sic) NE2000 compatible ethernet card) sometimes hangs after I've left it inactive for a while (= more than 5 hours - I leave it on overnight). The console has blanked, and doesn't reappear if I hit a key. The hard disk light is on. Nothing responds. It's big red switch time. There are no kernel logs of any activity around the crash (the cron/atrun log tells me when it has gone).
Could this be a problem with the Triton II chipset? Could it be a problem with the APM BIOS? 1.3.100 doesn't seem to do it, though I have to do much longer-term testing of this! It also happened once with 1.99.7 with my new Triton II patches. It seems to happen both with and without DMA enabled, though I have to confirm this. Relevant bits of .config:
# Floppy, IDE, and other block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PCMCIA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640 is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRITON=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000 is not set # CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set
[...] CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y # CONFIG_WATCHDOG is not set CONFIG_RTC=y
Any ideas, anyone?
