To: smp@FreeBSD.ORG, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD hackers) Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 08:58:59 +0200 (CEST) From: Søren Schmidt Reply-to: sos@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL38 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have this most odd problem with at least 3 of these boards (TYAN 1668 dual P6). The problem is that those boards can lock up totally given a set of specific events: Run in a high res graphics mode, that uses linear addressing. Use the mouse together with disk activity. This can be done in either X, win95 or winNT with the same sad result, a total lockup of the system. If I use the mouse in a textmode, or in a graphics mode that uses banking, the problem doesn't appear. We have tried anything here, we have the problem in 3 machines all of them have had their motherboards changed several times, we have tried different videocards, mouses, tried SCSI vs IDE, you name it, everytime with the same result. They can all "make world" for days in an xterm, given that you dont touch the mouse, if you do move the mouse and hit a bottom that will hang the machin solid in 80% of the cases. I have a TYAN 1662 board which is allmost the same just AT instead of ATX, and it doesn't show this behavior, even with the same parts put into the machine.... Any ideas, I'm totally at a loss here.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? ..
