Hi
My computer will freeze if I produce heavy network traffic. The crashes happen
after an arbitrary time and seem not to be related to hardware defects.
I tried the onboard nic and the rtl8139 which worked fine for me with my old
mainboard. I've copied the same file with windowsXP and tried some other
heavy network traffic just to see wheater it might be an hardware error but
the system was stable. After I have started to import my home directory via
NFS the crashes became more often. I will crash my system if I copy a big
file via SMB.
I had the problem with Mandrake 9.1 and now with 9.2 and even compiled my own
kernel (mandrake source) with no effect.
Any suggestions?
Jens
Here is some output of my system:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.22-21mdkcustom (root@a2.hadiko.de) (gcc version 3.3.1
(Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)) #4 So Dez 21 14:26:27 CET 2003
sh scripts/ver_linux
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

If the noapic or acpi=off stabilizes it for you and you want to run with apic
and io-apic then my patches may help.
You can find them in this thread
Updated Lockup Patches, 2.4.22 - 23 Nforce2, apic timer ack delay, ioapic edge
for NMI debug
If unsubscribed you can find it here

I played a bit around with apic off and on and still it had no effect. My
board keeps crashing. Seems not to be related to apic.

I would not count on that if it's an nforce2 board.
It's virtually an faq that if nforce2 is unstable then
you may actually need apic, local apic, ioapic, a
bios update, these patches, maybe athcool utility.
My nforce2 motherboard had ERR count and
excessive MIS count in /proc/interrupts due to
sharing interrupts between two pci cards. I
removed the ethernet card, used the motherboard
ethernet and forcedeth driver, so I was not sharing
interrupts between pci cards, and that gave me
ERR 0 and minimal MIS. Shared interrupts might
be your problem.
Personally I found that noapic or acpi=off could
not do anything for me either. Currently I have
pre-emptive kernel, apic, acpi, local apic.
You can try a bios flash update. This is most
hopeful for Award bios. Save your old bios
just in case when the flash software asks if you
want to save your old bios. We heard from one
person who needed to go back to his old bios,
but several got rid of their nforce2 crashes by
a bios update.
You can try athcool utility turning cpu disconnect
off--"athcool off". This stopped crashing for a few.
I don't need that.
You can try the patches; they can't hurt and would
be easy to remove. To make them work you need apic
on in bios, apic and local apic on in kernel config.

Might be a mandrake source thing, not liking nforce2 perhaps?
If you don't mind a bit of work, you could download current standard 2.4.23
kern source, add my patches, compile with acpi and uniprocessor ioapic,
Athlon etc. use the onboard nic, and try it with apic_tack=1 kernel arg.
Regards
Ross.

Transfered 1,8 GB without any crash. As the nvnet module seems to be part of
the NVIDIA released drivers I use my Realtek 8139 (like before when I had the
crashes). I just compiled the NVIDIA drivers and will give it a run. I am
wondering where the actual bug might be located as you remember that I did
not use APIC in the first place.
Thanx for help
Jens
