Trying to locate memory problems can really be misleading. You aren't sure yet that this isn't a memory problem, I think, and you have to be, before you go to blaming the board. How about swapping out the 512M you have installed now with the 512 you took out, and run that for a little while? It's *possible* you're absolutely right about the board, but I don't think anyone's going to trust that until you've covered the (logically required) bases. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Mon Nov 23 06:36:32 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA20756 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 06:36:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cc.weber.edu (cc.weber.edu [137.190.1.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA20751; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 06:36:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rfleming@cc.weber.edu) Received: from cc.weber.edu ([137.190.3.248]) by cc.WEBER.EDU (PMDF V5.1-7 #7039) with ESMTP id <01J4I72M26GW8Y77PQ@cc.WEBER.EDU>; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 07:35:49 MST Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 07:45:56 -0700 From: Rob Subject: Re: tyan S1836DLUAN >512Mb problems To: Sam Pigg Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG, smp@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: <36597523.1B3B1114@cc.weber.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (WinNT; I) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit References: <199811230851.AAA13798@phred.redbacknetworks.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Trying to use 1 gig of memory on a tyan S1836DLUAN (dual 450 PII's) > running 3.0-RELEASE, keep having problems with the system freezing up, > rebooting, compiles failing due to signal 11's etc. If I decrease the > memory to 512 megs (I'm using those weird micron 256meg simms btw) > everything works fine.

The problem is not with the motherboard. Most of the mother boards that support SMP PII's have the same problem. I was unable to locate where in the configs the problem comes from though. I was testing dual PII 400 when they were first avalible from Compaq with 1.0 gig of 256meg dimms. They are recognized fine by the bios but FreeBSD won't work with it. I tested NT, Novell, and Sco all of which work although no where near as well and the system with 512meg and SMP FreeBSD. Rob.

Erm wasnt there a problem with the PII's with caching a gig of ram or something? Perhaps this is the problem?

Sorry I didn't mention it, but I have swapped around the simms, and even got the vendor to provide a new set of 4 256 meg simms. Symptoms manifest themselves with any combination of simms larger than 512 Megs (though exactly 512 works fine). I have heard there was a cacheing issue with the old PII's (<400Mhz?), but these are the new 450's.

Hi, You might want to verify that the memory provided is from one of Tyan's 'recommended' vendors. http://www.tyan.com/html/pc100_partners.htm We have found that Advantage Memory usually does a very thorough check on each board and will let you know if that amount of memory will work with that board or not. You might want to talk to them for some specific DIMMS. Good luck, Kedar. Take care, Kedar Rajadnya. ASA Computers, Inc.

For a 2.2.2 system, a card based on the '875 is probably your best bet.

[ You mean "DIMMs", not SIMMs". ] Just another possible issue: with the old SIMMs, there was an apparent cottage industry where people would take lots of older (lower- density) memory chips and stuff them onto a board to make a SIMM. The problem with these "lots o'chips" SIMMs was that they'd put a large capacitive load onto the memory bus, with the result that you often couldn't put more than one (pair) into a system. If you did, you ended up with a system that either didn't boot, or crashed intermittently. If you were "lucky", you could "fix" this by tweaking the BIOS to add main memory wait states, but this wasn't particularly nice, as it slowed down the system. The result was that Pentium motherboard manufacturers added comments to their manuals, which basically said not to use SIMMs with more than "N" chips ("N" was something like 18-24 chips -- I don't know, exactly). Now, the question is whether or not there is a similar situation with DIMMs (I don't know, as I'm still stuck in the Pentium I world). If you have DIMMs with "lots o'chips", you might want to see if you can find DIMMs with fewer memory chips. Yes, they'll probably cost much more, but they might be more reliable. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

While I have a good idea about what's reliable for desktop cards, I'd appreciate some insight into which CardBus-based network (10/100BaseT) and modems people have had good luck with. If you reply directly to , I'll summarize to the list...
