Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have a very freaky problem here. I recently ran a few major updates, |
4 |
such as glibc, threading libraries, some other libraries, and XFree86 |
5 |
4.2.1. Now the C++ codes that I have to run (in a package called |
6 |
Diffpack) invoke total system halt. Screen turns off and goes into |
7 |
power-save mode, and hard-drive light comes up. All daemons hang (i can |
8 |
no longer ssh to my PC after such crash). With the older X, 4.2.0, I |
9 |
observed the same kind of system halt, but it was not as frequent as it is |
10 |
now. Now, the code runs for several minutes, and the system crashes. |
11 |
|
12 |
When I booted in TEXT mode, without starting X, this problem DID NOT |
13 |
OCCUR!!!! I have no idea what to do. I got Nvidia GeForce3 chipset in my |
14 |
system, and I use nvidia's GLX and kernel modules provided with Gentoo. I |
15 |
can provide my XF86Config file to anyone who'd be willing to look at it. |
16 |
I disabled DPMS in the extensions module, but the problem persists. I |
17 |
wonder if there are other extension modules I should disable. I also use |
18 |
the option "NvAGP" "1", but I have crashes without it just the same. |
19 |
|
20 |
The codes are run remotely on my machine by one of the users via SSH. |
21 |
|
22 |
This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. Ever since I |
23 |
installed Gentoo in August 2002, I had not a single major problem! |
24 |
|
25 |
System details: 2 2.2 GHz Intel Xeons with hyperthreading technology, |
26 |
Tyan motherboard, 2 IDE Western Digital hard-drives, nVidia GeForce3 |
27 |
chipset on ASUS V8200 card. I have 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 kernel with SMP |
28 |
enabled (never had any problems with the kernel before). XFree 4.2.1, |
29 |
latest glibc, and other libraries relating to C and C++. |
30 |
|
31 |
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!! I really have no idea what to do |
32 |
and I really do not have time to try to solve this on my own!! |
33 |
|
34 |
Thank you in advance! |
