Hi,
The problem occurs when CPU is running on low freq. (800 MHz). The hangs occur
(not neccesarily immediately) with Machine Check Exception, however the
message is not always displayed (or I am too slow to see it), there were two
messages I did not manage to write down (fully) both of them, one of them was
CPU. 0: Machine Check Exception: 0....4 Bank 4: b20...70f0f
In place of dots were zeroes I did not manage to count before reboot.
Sometimes it does not reboot but just hangs hard with no message but blinking
capslock (kernel panic).
System attempted to instal is linux Gentoo, kernel 2.6.23, it does not matter
whether the frequency is switched after startup or low from the beginning
(switched by bios on startup with battery power. Chipset is Nvidia MCP51.
Also, the system does exactlu the same booted from x86 as well as amd64 livecd
gentoo, SystemRescueCD (0.4.3 and 1.0.0) - mostly during some compiling or
un-tarring, but sometimes it just does that "out of the box", during boot or
right after that).
On 2.4GHz, system is running without any problems (govenor - performance or
userspace). It doess not seem to be a memory problem - I have tested it on 2
sets of modules - (original ones 2x1GB 667MHz CL5 as well as elpida 2x2GB
800MHz CL5). Moreover, frequency scaling (or keeping low frequency,
unexpectedly) does not affect system stability in bundled vista - which also
suggests no memory problem. memtest86 also passes.
Best regards,
Micha³ Pytasz

Additional information:
The full MCE message (on which system hangs) is:
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
Bank 4: b200000000070f0f
Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt
However for the first time it occured with 2.4GHz... This time kernel was
2.6.24.
Best regards,
Micha³ Pytasz

I have another problem on mine (Ferrari F5000) and I wonder whether you
also have seen something similar. I have a similar Turion (T-60?).
Since the clockevents patches already some kernel iterations ago, I need
to pass noapictimer as boot parameter.
Otherwise the kernel will freeze at early boot time, but only every
second time.
Not every second, but statistically every second time. It could be that
I can boot 3 times, then it freezes 2 times ...
It looks like whether it depends that it's random which CPU/apic core is
used (setup up) first and if the broken one is taken the APIC timer does
not tick and the machine hangs.
I wonder whether you also see this (then I could submit a patch to also
use noapictimer for Turions) or whether I really have broken HW here and
have to live with the workaround boot parameter.
I wasn't able to see/google my backtrace anywhere:
A division through zero:
setup_boot_APIC_clock
kernel_init
child_rip
vgacon_cursor
kernel_init
child_rip
RIP: clockevent_delta2ns+0x11/0x3b
therefore I could imagine I should go for the boot param?
For your memory problem... Just a guess, but it could be that your
machine has voltage regulating problems. I'd rather expect that if run
on full power, but I also could imagine this happens on low cpufreq
values (if HW is/got broken). I'd run a memtest with lower cpufreq,
maybe something like this:
http://www.krugle.org/examples/p-Gk7AKdq1GmR9tNcy/memeater.c
Does this one help to let your machine freeze quicker (still only if
cpufreq is lowered -> I'd say it's a HW problem then)?
Thomas
