Subject: Intel SMP problem with ASUS mb
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 09:13:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D93D3DB.726A5532@hotpop.com> (raw)
Friends,
I have a typical problem with Dual Intel board from ASUS. Everytime I
boot with SMP kernel, the system hangs (stops responding) sometimes by
giving a kernel panic, sometimes the display goes off. In all cases I
cannot attempt rebooting using CTRL+ALT+DEL.
I entered into BIOS and disabled MP1.4 as recommended by some sites
dealing with SMP problem with ASUS motherboard. The system smoothly
booted, but failed to start the ethernet (eth0) interface. I checked if
the driver module is there in /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/ directory as it
is in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/ (non-SMP generic) directory. I made
appropriate correction in /etc/lilo.conf also.
Can anyone please suggest, where the problem is.
One more amazing thing I notices. I was testing the performance by using
a multi-threaded Java program to calculate PI using Monte-Carlo
simulation. For 90,000,000 iterations using non-SMP generic kernel, it
took 21 seconds, while for the same iteration using SMP kernel it took
32 seconds!!
Please suggest me any solution. I am trying for the last several weeks.
The configuration of my system is given below:
Mainboard: ASUS CUV4X-D
Processor: Two Intel PIII/1000MHz Coppermine
Memory: 2 x 256 Mb
I/O: Adaptec SCSI Controller AHA-2460 80MB/sec
Disk: Seagate Cheetah, 10000 RPM
Ethernet: RealTek 8029 (using ne2k-pci driver)
Thanks in advance,
Snehasis Sinha
