Hi!

OK - i rechecked everything. We've 22 Servers with the DFI PM-12 Mainboard with VIA Chipset.

But only the 5 oldest of them (before 2004 / 01 / 20) (we've buyed all in a range of 10 month) have this problem.

So i think it is a mixture of software and hardware problem. Perhaps DFI changed something on the mainboard (e.g. new revision) or there was a new BIOS Version on it.

But there must also changed something in the kernel.

You mean Kernel .configs?

On all 32bit Machines:

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,pascal,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.3 --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-debug --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-java-awt=xlib --enable-objc-gc i486-linux

What is different about these servers?

All 300 machines are mostly different. We have Dual Opteron, single P4
with HT, single P4 without HT, Dual Xeon, Athlon 64 X2, and many
more... different mainboards etc.

The only thing i found out is, that all these servers (where the
problem exist) are using a DFI PM-12 Mainboard with a VIA Chipset.

Any others with VIA chipsets?

Are you building different kernels for them, or is it just different
drivers loaded?

No every machine builds it's own kernel.


OK, can you post configs for one that works and one that doesn't?

And which C compiler(s) do you use? The same for all, I hope...
