oops nvidia kernel module x86-1.0-8762

[hvw59601]

Hi,

Oops is solid. Happens at the start of gdm. Also happens with 8756. Does not happen with 7167.
Both 8756 and 8762 install clean.
Attached are the nvidia bug-report and the section of syslog that has the oops.

Regards,

Hugo

I have a few questions:
0) Does this also reproduce with a kernel.org kernel, or only the ck kernel?
1) If you aren't running gdm does the Oops still occur?
2) If you set NvAGP to 0 in your xorg.conf does that have any impact?
3) Have you verified that you're using the latest BIOS for the motherboard?

Thanks,
Lonni

Hi Lonni, thanks for replying so quick.

0. I compiled + installed the latest stable kernel from kernel.org: 2.6.16.20. Same result, oops on starting the PCI console. I attach the chunk of syslog that was readable.
1. Still occurs when startx -- vt51, that is the PCI console. Not the AGP console: startx -- vt7, that starts.
2. Has no effect. Still occurs with it set to 0.
3. Is an EP-8VTAI mobo dated 11/24/2004 that I bought from NewEgg 6 months later and installed. Almost a year ago now.
All BIOS upgrades installed.

Thanks,
Hugo

Hi,

On a suggestion from James van Zeeland, (remember I am running a Linux two-seater: two monitors/keybds/mice/x servers) I switched the primary video to PCI and that worked.

If anyone wants to know more prompt me here.
