hello,
I'm aware this is a known bug; just to share my experiences :
- GENERIC is quite unusable when networked : no cvsup
or scp of some non-trivial file will not end in
freezing the network
- put HZ=1000 and you do not even get your prompt
back after typing cvsup
- leaving out ACPI is not an option since the system
simply does not boot without it
- attached is a config-file which is more or less usable :
basically I put HZ=50 and left out firewire and SMP:
- I can cvsup /usr/src in 2 or 3 tries
- just surfing and xchat works OK
remarks :
- I doubt this is driver related, e.g. when I launce a big scp
and do a "tar -zxpf some100MB.tgz" in another window,
box freezes right after the tar has finished ....
- I still get the ata LBA timeout messages as well (and forcing
PIO4 makes things only very worse)
- there's nothing to set in the BIOS but the date
- when I attach a USB mouse it works OK for some minutes
and then basta, no more interrupts seen in vmstat -i
(leaving out atapicam doesnt matter either)
Just hope this might help to put someone on the right track.
Regards,
Arno
