I have a particular problem: when I try to compile a C/C++ file the whole systems stops (no network, mouse, etc)
I replaced every part of the system (CPU, Memory, motherboard, Hard disk, video card) and
I get the same result (which points to a software problem)
Currently specs:
Biostar NF4ST-A9
550W power supply
Atlon x64 +3800 (dual core)
NVIDIA video card (6600, same problem issue with the NVIDIA video drivers and non NVIDIA drivers)
160GB SATA (Maxtor)
2 GB memory (Viking)
OS Suse 10.1 (tried 10.2 system is not stable, 10.3 system is unusable)
Any suggestions to how to proceed and find what the issue is? I configured syslog to log into another machine; I found out that I have processing for about 5 seconds before the system freezes, but nothing in the log. I run memtest for one day and no memory issues, when Using 10.1 I can develop java applications (which as everybody knowns are big in resources (the IDE alone takes 450GB, the app server another 300GB of memory) but I do not have any freezes
Thanks
thanks
thanks for all the help and support
Some motherboard chipsets
Some motherboard chipsets tend to have problems with APIC, try passing the 'noapic' boot parameter.
Thanks
I tried to not use APIC (acpi=off system does not boot (can not find the SATA harddisk) tried with acpi=oldboot and same problem. System just freeze. I do not get anything on the logs.
Thanks
APIC, *not* ACPI, they are
APIC, *not* ACPI, they are completely different and unrelated things.
thanks for catching the typo
Thanks very much for your help, got a logic analyzer and borrowed a POD. The problem is the memory controller, is not refreshing the memory correctly. The solution was to change the mem speed to 333 and it solves the issue
Thanks
