Hi,
A followup on SMP testing -
1. I've finished reconfiguring my system. I now have a single 2G partition for
testing. The test systems only use the one partition + swap. (Haven't
finished web reconfig...)
2. I did load 2.2.13, and 2.3.47 onto it. The problems still occur -
a. once I traced it down to a page fault (looked like disk failure...)
this under 2.2.13
b. once I traced it to the keyboard, also under 2.2.13
c. Under 2.3.47, I couldn't get any output after the problem occured. I could
type in 6 characters, and recieve the echo. Then it hung. No output
dump trace ever.
d. Under 2.3.47, I tried a maintence kernel, but the same thing occured.
In all three cases I did a little extra testing while booting:
I added thefollowing code to rc.S, after enabling swap and running /bin/update:
if [ "`/bin/uname -r`" != "2.2.13.SMP" ]; then
echo "CRASH TEST - echo of output"
echo "CRASH TEST" >/CRASH.TEST
echo "append test" >>/CRASH.TEST
echo "after append test"
echo " reading contents of CRASH.TEST"
cat /CRASH.TEST
echo "beginning keyboard read test"
echo "beginning keyboard read test" >>CRASH.TEST
read junk
echo "READ ...${junk}..." >>CRASH.TEST
echo " reading contents again:"
cat /CRASH.TEST
fi
When I boot the system I do have the disk write enabled to see if anything
occured. The failure only occurs at the "read junk" line. I do get the
contents of the CRASH.TEST file output, even though it doesn't quite make it
to disk (might if I put a sync in there...)
One other thing I noticed -- from another post (AUTH problems):
> kernel: rsbac_reg_init(): Initializing RSBAC: REG module registration Mar 8
> 12:20:05 ganja kernel: rsbac_init(): Starting rsbacd thread Mar 8 12:20:05
> ganja kernel: rsbac_init(): Setting RSBAC auto timer Mar 8 12:20:05 ganja
> kernel: rsbac_init(): Ready.
I don't get the line "kernel: rsbac_init(): Ready.". This may be due to
it being the very first boot.
A default /rsbac/useraci file was created.
If you have some debugging suggestions/configuration changes I'm ready to
try them out.
