6.1-Stable Freeze with 6600GT - Page 2

AlienZoo · 11-27-06, 02:41 PM

Just a "me too". 6600GT with FreeBSD 5.4. Asus A8V Deluxe and Athlon x2 processor.

I have no interrupt clashes that I can see and lockups appear to happen after heavy ethernet activity on onboard sk0 interface.

Same graphics card ran in same model motherboard (different physical board with older BIO is that matters) with single core AMD 64 for over a year, but also with older drivers, with no such problems. Now with dual-core and SMP kernel, lockups are daily.

Lockups happened with 8776 and now 9629.

(In fact, the machine does not completely lock up, and if I am lucky I can exit X with ctl-alt-backspace. The jobs causing the heavy interrupt load do run to completion. But I cannot connect to the machine and cannot restart X after quitting - needs a reboot. Complains about not recieving interrupts).

If there's any information I can provide, just let me know.

Am about to try downgrading back to 8178 to see if it helps - clutching at straws!

It seems to have been worth clutching at straws!

I downgraded nvidia-driver to 8178 (and had to downgrade nvidia settings to 1.05) and (fingers crossed) I haven't had the xid issue at all for over a week, when I was getting it pretty much daily.

Looks like some change in the later versions has caused this problem to occur.

Hate to resurrect an old thread, but I'm seeing essentially the same thing, but on somewhat newer hardware.

The system is an Athlon64 X2 4600+ on an ASRock AliveSATA2-GLAN Motherboard (VIA KT890CF chipset), a PCIe 7600GT and two TFTs hooked up to it via DVI.

The symptom is that X locks up - not very frequently though - and one of the TFTs loses signal. The mousepointer still moves, but X does no longer respond to keyboard input or mouse clicks, I can only press the power button to have it shut down (it does properly shut down however, and once X is killed as part of the shutdown sequence, the system console reappears on both screens). The lockups do not seem to be correlated to any particular activity or event.

I dual-boot Windows on this machine and I haven't seen a similar thing occur there yet.

Prior to the lockups, I get errors like these - in X.0.log:

Code:

(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000, 0x000007e4, 0x000007e4)

Seems fair enough since nothing ever seemed to get resolved

I got minor relief by using 8178 drivers but it's not as good as I initially thought. I still get lock ups under *heavy, sustained* ethernet usage. AFAIK there are no shared interrupts in play. Luckily, I only seem to trigger the fault when backing up to another machine, so I just exit X before doing that.

I had no trouble with a single core processor and non-SMP kernel on otherwise identical hardware. If you are willing to sacrifice a core, you might try taking out SMP to see if it helps.

Haven't had a chance to try the nv driver since Xorg 7.1 came out to see if it works better than it did in the past.

cybasheep · 08-10-07, 07:02 AM

I experimented a bit and it seems that there really is a big problem with interrupt delivery and IRQ sharing.

Disabling the ioapic (and SMP of course) results in some massive IRQ sharing, as expected:

Code:

hint.apic.0.disabled="1"
kern.smp.disabled="1"

Code:

... and with that, it takes no longer than five minutes of running X before the problem appears. Normally I'd be quite happy to just blame PC hardware as usual, but I tried stressing some other devices sharing IRQ 10 for testing: playing music on pcm1 while continuously rsyncing data over re0 (which is a PCIe device as well) from a memory card in a reader attached to a port whose parent is uhci0 and none of them went haywire, plus it-works-in-windows, so there is some hope left this could be actually fixed by other means than shuffling pci cards (or even motherboards) around.

Indeed. When the NVidia driver goes haywire my huge ethernet traffic continues just fine, so whatever the interrupt issue is, it doesn't appear to affect my ethernet. This has been true for two different ethernets, one on-board one in a PCI slot and I'm sure I re-ordered the cards so the PCI card was in a slot not shared with the NVidia (though I think the on-board wasn't either). Been too long since I looked...

And as you say "it works in windows" so it must surely be driver/FreeBSD related.

Still happy to provide NVidia with any info that would help...
