Linux kernel crash (3.2.0-2-amd64) when trying to play audio CD

[Thomas Schwinge]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 837 bytes --]

Hi!

After many others that played with no problems, I just tried playing
Guano Apes' audio CD »Proud Like a God« (1997) in Rhythmbox, on my mostly
up-to-date Debian GNU/Linux testing system.

    $ uname -a
    Linux boole 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon May 21 17:45:41 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

... which specifically is »linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.18-1«.

While "loading" the CD in Rhythmbox, after a few seconds the kernel
crashed.  I rebooted, tried again, and it crashed again.  At
<http://schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/linux-crash-audio-cd.jpeg> you
can find the panic message (low resolution, sorry), pointing to the
SCSI/ATA code.

Are there any such known issues?  Does the panic message give any clue
already, or would you want me to reproduce that with debugging symbols,
etc.?


Grüße,
 Thomas

Your computer is broken; Machine Check Exception indicates a hardware
fault.  The other text at the top of the screen may help to identify
which component is at fault.

Hmm, I see, thanks.  Nothing the kernel could do to catch that, I
suppose?  (Scary that simply putting a regular audio CD into the drive
can crash the kernel.)

Let me guess: AMD K8?

Also, can I get /proc/cpuinfo please?

Thanks.

Ok, can you do the following:

$ setpci -s 18.0 0x68.l

and

$ rdmsr 0xc001001f

and send me the output of both commands. Btw, rdmsr should be in a
package called msr-tools, at least on Debian.

Thanks.

Ok, this is a BIOS bug - we have a recommendation about what the BIOS
should do but yours doesn't do it. Are you sure you're using the latest
BIOS for your motherboard?

Can you check for updates and if you get a newer version, can you update
your BIOS and do the two commands above?

If there's no newer BIOS, we can try applying the workaround at boot in
an init script to fix your issue.

I have now finally been able to check this, and yes, I'm already using
the latest version of the BIOS, which is Phoenix cME FirstBIOS Desktop
Pro version 5.00 R1.07.2264.A1 (a.k.a.  5.00.1.07, 25.04.2006) for
Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E5600, mainboard D2264-A1, CPU AMD Sempron 3000+.

How'd that be done?

Well, you need to run the following script when the machine boots. I.e.,
you'd probably have to add it to /etc/init.d/ and make it run at some
runlevel, sometime early-ish, before a user can login.

Here's the script, let me know how it goes:

--
#!/bin/bash
# assuming a single CPU system

nb_cfg=0xc001001f
ht_tr_ctl=0x68


val="0x"$(rdmsr $nb_cfg)
val=$(( $val | (1 << 32) ))
val=$(printf "0x%08x" $val)
wrmsr $nb_cfg $val


val="0x"$(setpci -s 18.0 $ht_tr_ctl.l)
val=$(( $val | (1 << 21) ))
val=$(printf "0x%08x" $val)
setpci -s 18.0 $ht_tr_ctl.l=$val

echo "Erratum 169 workaround applied."
---

HTH.

Thanks for that.  I invoke it from /etc/rc.local, and then get:

    $ sudo setpci -s 18.0 0x68.l
    0f20cc0f
    $ sudo rdmsr 0xc001001f
    100000008

Previously that was:

    $ sudo setpci -s 18.0 0x68.l
    0f00cc0f
    $ sudo rdmsr 0xc001001f
    8

However, putting in that one audio CD still crashes the machine:

Original (identical, from a quick glance) MCE is at

The power supply and/or mainboard didn't "wake up" after a recent power
cycle.  As both these aren't standard form factors (and the
machine/architecture had some issues, as discussed, and see also
<http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C87r45fajun.fsf%40schwinge.name%3E>
for another issue), I didn't bother looking for spare parts.  Want me to
ship it to you?  ;-)
