Hi, I recently bought a kt3 ultra2 mother board and I keep having problems with it. The computer is running debian/testing (kernel self-compiled from unstable deb 2.4.20). The issues are not easily reproducible but here is what I learned so far:
(The machine is acting as a nfs server and has an ide-cd-burner) *) Clients cannot connect to NFS server anymore (happens once a day, usually the first time in the morning when I power up my workstation - the nfs-client). The error I get is "nfs: task 20071 can't get a request slot" - taken from /var/log/messages of the nfs-client. The only cure I found is to reboot both the client and the server. Then everything seems to work fine again. *) Burning CDs and using nfs sometimes freezes the computer (kernel panic) *) Copying big files over NFS sometimes causes the same nfs problems I usualy have in the moring (see first star) Basically I assume (though this is more like a guess) that heavy network traffic together with heavy ide traffic trigger some problems. I have upgraded the mobo bios to the latest version available. I am not sure, for some time I had the feeling the machine crashed less often since, but then again, I have no statistics to back this up. Since a week I have turned off DMA usage and everything seems to work now -- although very very slowly of course. I have googled for answers and have learned that right before 2.4.20 some related ide/dma patches for my chipset have been applied. But hey, I am using 2.4.20, and still get problems (; Has anybody else experienced similar problems? regards, Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
