How do I debug/troubleshoot a crashing system ?
by Kim Lux 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I've got a system that freezes up solid when I am doing certain network operations. I can't open a new session, I can't unfreeze it, basically all I can do is power down and reboot. How do I figure out what is causing the problem ? I've checked the system logs, but they are clean. What else could I look at and how ? -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.

I am using Fedora core 3 on my IBM R51 2888c4 with duel boot. Cd mounting is done properly but eject mount is giving an error saying failed to unmount disk.

Nvidia GeForce2 Intergrated Freeze
by Gabriel Moreno 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hello all, I have an ASUS A7N266 mobo that has an intergrated GeForce2. After I install FC3 Stable. And followed http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia and then http://www.linuxjunior.org/yabbse/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadi…. Still everytime FC3 would try to load it would freeze. I activated and deactivate rhgp and but whenever it would try start running x hd activity stoped after getting a blank screen. I did have it working in the past and it works in windows. Don't know what the problem could be. I am just stumped. I installed SuSE and it happens to work on Pro 9.1 Thanks! Gabriel

onlyservice running and slowing system down
by Rodd Clarkson 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

I've got this process called 'onlyservice' that is using up all CPU and slowing everything down This has only recently started up (today and maybe yesterday) It may have something to do with my network card writing to the /var/log/message log file (for testing purposes) but it also may not. (This was enabled about four days ago) If I try to kill the process, it just starts a new one. What is this and what do I need to do to stop it consuming my CPU?

why do I need to do a modprobe huchicoochi dance?
by Brian Millett 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

I am running rawhide. I just noticed that the usb flashdrive does not get mounted, or anything. It is because none of the modules are loaded for usb storage. I do not know which system this would apply to. HAL? HOTPLUG? initscripts? This was working until a week or so ago. I know its a bit vague, but I didn't test for every update. Its just when I used it last, it worked with out all of the modprobe stuff. I have to do the following dance to get the flashdrive to be mounted. [bpm]$ sudo modprobe usb-ohci [bpm]$ sudo modprobe uhci-hcd [bpm]$ sudo modprobe ehci-hcd [bpm]$ sudo modprobe scsi-mod [bpm]$ sudo modprobe usb-storage I know I can put this in rc.local & other places, but what behavior changed? Thanks. -- Brian Millett - [ Ivanova, "Midnight on the Firing Line"] "Commander, there's a problem."

FC3 Irq conflicts on laptop
by picomp314 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

I first noticed this problem when I first got a PCMCIA atheros based wireless card to work. The problem begins whenever I start the wireless card and then plug in an external USB 2.0 hard drive, mount it, and then begin browsing the the drive using nautilus, xmms, etc... A quick look at 'top' shows the logging facilities in FC3, klogd and syslogd, taking up almost all of the cpu. I then look at the /var/log/messages log in which i find that the error serial8250: irq 11 has too much work is being added to the file at an incredible rate. This of course spurs me to check the IRQs in proc... cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 1640085 XT-PIC timer 1: 1403 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 9: 2 XT-PIC acpi 11: 164675 XT-PIC ohci1394, ALI 5451, ehci_hcd, ohci_hcd, ohci_hcd, yenta, yenta, yenta, yenta, ath0, eth0 12: 685 XT-PIC i8042 14: 33533 XT-PIC ide0 15: 36 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 6 I find it completely ridiculous that irq11 is so overloaded while other irqs are either empty or almost completely empty. I then look within the pcmcia.opts configuration file to see whether I can switch yenta to a different interrupt, I instruct the config parser to 'ignore' irq11. Changing this and then either restarting pcmcia or simply restarting the computer has absolutely no effect upon IRQs. So I guess my question essentially spurs from something that I once read that seemed to suggest to me that pcmcia.opts is not the first file to be parsed, it is overridden by settings somewhere else. Which essentially boils down to this; where can I definitively set the irq used by pcmcia? Thanks in advance -John Degenstein

Stress Testing Happiness
by Will H. Backman 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Stress testing Fedora Happiness. I'd just like to pass on a note of thanks to the Fedora community. I am about to retire our old server. It runs most of the day with a load average of 6 to 12. This poor thing is having the crap beat out of it day in and day out. It was provisioned a few years ago and has taken on more and more tasks. While the response time had obviously dropped below acceptable limits, it does not falter, leak memory, or do mysterious things. -- Will Backman Coastal Enterprises, Inc.
