I've established by now that the problem is definitely not with the Linux kernel, but there was a discussion here about this very issue last August, and I haven't found a reference to it anywhere else, so please help if you can. :)
I'm seeing hardlocks in various 2.4 kernels (10, 18, 19-pre8, all SMP): mobo=Tyan S2464 (K7 Thunderbird) SMP NVidia GeForce4 AGP SBLive! Platinum 5.1 Two 40G IDE hard drives
I can reproduce at will (Unreal Tournament aggrivates it), but it can happen at any time. It even locked up in the BIOS Setup(!) at one point. Last August, Eric S. Raymond started these threads which seem to be the same problem: Hang problem on Tyan K7 Thunder resolved -- SB Live! heads-up S2464 (K7 Thunder) hangs -- some lessons learned
First trying the things I usually try to regain system stability, then based on what I learned from the above threads, I have found that even doing *all* of the following does not correct the issue for me: nosmp or pulled 2nd CPU ide=nodma disableapic or noapic apm=off additional cooling memory swap video card swap, both pci and agp, both 3dfx and nvidia "Use PCI Interrupt Entries in MP Table" -> "yes" No emu10k1 driver at all
Yanking the sound card completely out of the machine makes the hardlock go away, but the card works flawlessly in my Abit K7 system.
Am I forgetting to try something?
Does anybody have any further advice on this?
Does anyone know if it's the motherboard or the card that's actually doing something wrong, so I can know whom to yell at and/or avoid in the future?
