I thought I had finally gotten this fixed with the kernel option
nolapic, but it happened to me again. I am experiencing hard lock
ups that seem to be related to high data throughput, but aren't
consistent enough for me to track down. When it freezes, only
hitting the reset or power button fixes it.<br>
<br>
I have an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 motherboard with an AMD Barton 2500+ in
it. It has a nforce northbridge. I am passing the kernel
"acpi=no noapic nolapic". I'm running 2.6.11-6mdk. I have one PVR
150. I have two hard drives, running LVM to make one video
share. I'm running ivtv 0.3.9<br>
<br>
What happens is a hard lock up. It generally happens when I'm
exercising the ethernet hard. Possibly related is that my nfs
speed sucks, despite being gigabit on both sides. I'm not,
however, pushing it insanely hard. An example would copying files to it
while watching a movie. A recording might start and suddenly hard
lock. It does not always require a recording to start however. <br>
<br>
There is no other computer on the network, and I have a D-Link gigabit
router, but I still get frequent time outs. It's almost as though
the hard drives are just completely swamped, but I can't find a reason
why they should be. Sometimes even simple things like listing a
directory can take quite a while.<br>
<br>
The file system is reiserfs, the first drive is a ST3200822A, the
second is a ST3250823A. They aren't running particularly hot, and
smartd isn't reporting bad errors. One of the disks had a few bad
sectors that I had the tool replace with reserved sectors.<br>
<br>
Can anyone give any advice on where to go from here?<br>
