2.4.18-rcx: Dual P3 + VIA + APIC

2.4.18-rcx: Dual P3 + VIA + APIC

[Adam Lackorzynski]

Hi,

trying to boot a 2.4.18-rc1, 2.4.18-rc2-ac1 or 2.5.5pre1 on a dual P3
with a VIA chipset hangs (randomly) at the "=====" signs, sometimes the
screen is flickering:

or it hangs after initialising the SCSI driver (sym), IDE, network etc.

It never went further.


Booting with "noapic" works, as do UP 2.4 kernels and 2.2.20 SMP
kernels.

Does 2.4.18pre8 work ? There is a small MP 1.4 change I tested and fed on
to Marcelo and it would be nice to know that wasnt the cause

No, same symptoms, hangs on several places and screen flickers
sometimes.

Hello

        I'm having same problems booting SMP-enabled kernels. I just mailed
the list asking for help, but I could not provide more information abount
the mainboard (it's a Asus dual P3, via chipset, don't remember the model).
The messages are very similar (if not equal) to yours. I was able to boot to
the end disabling APM support, but the boot process itself became unstable
(some times it booted, some times not, just like you).

Hm, interestingly there seem to be more people with via+SMP+somewhat problems. Interestingly, because I cannot confirm these troubles, using such a setup myself. Just have a look:

(This is Asus CUV4X-D, dual PIII, and a damn lot of stuff inside :-)

I compile my kernel (2.4.18-rc2) with the attached config. Please try it and tell your results. I can assure you that this machine runs rock solid over here for months.

Stephan

Same MB here, the lspci output is also the same (for the onboard stuff ;).

No luck here. Hangs during boot (tried with 2.4.18-rc2-ac2).


I even updated the BIOS from 1010 to 1014 as well (just in case). What
BIOS version are you running? And at how many MHz are the CPUs?

Ok, this is fine and makes the comparison at least possible to some extent.

Please start from a setup as close to mine as possible. That is 2.4.18-rc2.
In setup switch MPS 1.4 support to disable and Power Management to disable.

I use BIOS 1010, 2 x P3 1 GHz and tried RAM from 512MB to 2GB. Currently installed are 2GB being 2 x 1GB registered DIMM.

    The MB is the same for me (I guess). The machine is about 60Km distant
from me now, so I have not compiled with your .config yet. Next time I'll
try to gather some info for the list. The lspci is almost the same.

No luck, even with completely switched off PM. "noapic" works. I
attached the stripped down config. It mostly hangs while setting up the
second CPU.

2x 933, RAM is 960MB.

Your config is not identical to the one I sent. If you want to find out what the problem is, you must first try to produce a setup that is known good. So simply use my config, even if it contains stuff you don't need, and especially if it does not contain stuff you want.
Your primary goal is: let the box boot.
Your secondary goal is: add your original options to my config one by one - means: add one, test it, add next.
Somewhere in between it is expected to break. Then you probably located the reason with the last option you added.

I have several of those boards in production environment, one of those is exactly like yours (1GB RAM and 2 x PIII(933)). All of them work flawlessly. There is a chance it is related to my configs.

Yours (+serial console) doesn't work either, so I stripped out most
unneeded things. I'm going to rip out all cards except net and graphics
to see if that helps but that has to wait till Monday...

BTW: I just got this:
Using local APIC timer interrupts.

I would say this means the TSC skew fix is broken and shooting down your box. What do you think, Alan?

Seems a reasonable guess. However that TSC skew itself may point to other
problems. It means one processor started running successfully a little after
the other. That might be normal behaviour for that board or might point to 
something else

It seems no normal behaviour, I checked several other boards of this type and none had a TSC skew (and all work). Purely guessing I would suggest two try some other 2 processors to verify the behaviour is really processor-independent. Another guess would of course be the MB itself being broken to some extent.

Has anybody ever seen a _working_ skew correction? Is this known-to-work code?

Yes. Works every time for me (on NUMA-Q), with huge corrections:

I did try disabling it once, which stopped the system booting.
I never looked at it any further.

If you are crashing near the wait_init_idle fix, you might
try Ingo's scheduler patch - it has a different way of
fixing this race condition.

I tried sched-O1-2.4.18-pre8-K3 and it didn't work with a SMP kernel
either.

Furthermore it also doesn't work with a UP kernel with Local IO APIC support
(CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC). Without it does work. It reliably hangs in
arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c:check_timer (in 2.4.18-pre8-K3 about line 1510)

        printk(KERN_INFO "..TIMER: vector=0x%02X pin1=%d pin2=%d\n", vector, pin1, pin2);

        if (pin1 != -1) {
                /*
                 * Ok, does IRQ0 through the IOAPIC work?
                 */
          printk(KERN_ERR "1\n");
                unmask_IO_APIC_irq(0);
          printk(KERN_ERR "2\n");
                if (timer_irq_works()) {

The "1" still occurs, then it hangs...

So if you comment out the unmask and the whole if clause
below it, does your system then boot, or do you just crash
and burn a few lines later?

I just spits out some (not all) chars from the following printk and then
dies.
