we recently bought two nearly identical Dual PentiumII Systems. One of them
is working quite stable, the other one gives strange warnings and error
messages and hangs quite often.
System desc:
both of them have
dual PII/333Mhz
GigaByte GA-686DLX Motherboard
onboard Adaptec AIC7880 SCSI-Ctrl
3Com 3c905 Boomerang Networkcard
DCAS-32160W 2Gb HD
XM-6201TA SCSI CdRom
internal Iomega ZIP Drv
the _WORKING_ System has in addition
128 Mb SDRam
DDRS-39130W 9Gb Hd
Mad16 Soundcard
Matrox Millenum II AGP/8Mb
the _FAILING_ System has in addtion
512 Mb SDRam
DGHS-?? 18 Gb Hd
ATI PCI Graphics
both systems are running 2.1.105-SMP with no patches and (hopefully) all system
utilities uptodate.
With the 18Gb HD installed, the system hangs with a message :
Unknown Interrupt
as the last syslog entry and the system hangs.
By replacing the 18Gb Hd by an 4Gb Quantum SCSI Hd we got the strange
warning:
Uhhuh: NMI received for unknown reason 2c
Dazed and confused but trying to continue.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
useless to mention that we don't have _any_ power saving mode enabled.
After this message, the system did still work.
Before using the 2.1.106 we had the 2.0.33 installed. There the second
system hang without _ANY_ message. With both kernel, the non-SMP mode
works well.
Is there anybody out there who can give me some hints on that problem?
Thanx a lot,
chris
