| |
I have 2 features which someone might be able to help me with - They have been around for a while, but I haven't had a chance to report them... They could be related to my hardware:
Dual P-II 400, 256Mb RAM, 2xWD9100 HDDs, Soundblaster AWE32 Linux 2.1.xxx kernel based on RH 5.2 install
1) Strange hdparm results: Any explanations welcome - Both disks are identical, seem to perform reasonably, and hang off 2 channels of an aic7xxx Ultra-Wide SCSI controller, but running hdparam gives:
[root@one47]# /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sdb
/dev/sda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.20 seconds =106.67 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 25.62 seconds = 2.50 MB/sec ^^^^^^^^^^^ --- Ouch !!! /dev/sdb: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.18 seconds =108.47 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.00 seconds =12.80 MB/sec
These results are consistent !
2) A sound problem, easily demonstrated using... You geussed it... Quake II. When Q2 is run for the first time all is fine... Sound is OK, and life is good. Subsequent times though I get the following message and core dump:
Added packfile ./baseq2/pak0.pak (3307 files) Added packfile ./baseq2/pak1.pak (279 files) Added packfile ./baseq2/pak2.pak (2 files) Added packfile ./baseq2/pak3.pak (8 files) execing default.cfg execing config.cfg Console initialized.
------- sound initialization ------- sound sampling rate: 11025 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Doing a "file core" suggests that the reason for the dump is a Sig 11. Note that this always runs OK 1st thing after a boot, but never for a 2nd or subsequent attempt...
