[Solved] Kernel Oops continues. Need help from someone who know this..

antis · 2009-07-28 17:06:47

Edit: It turned out to be my wireless dongle who tainted the kernel. Instead of loading the ra73 module I'll use ndiswrapper until the issue is solved.

I have a kernel oops as soon as I try to launch X with the nvidia module. I posted about this problem on the Nvidia Linux forum and someone there suggested that this is not a nvidia problem, but rather a kernel issue.

So here we go again...
I have a Zotac IONITX-B mother board with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chipset. Whenever I try to launch X with the nvidia module it results in a kernel Oops and X is unusable.

As soon as I try to load X (xorg-server 1.6.2) the pc crashes with a kernel Oops. The pc is equipped with 4Gb of DDR2 800Mhz RAM. No other perhiperals are used except for one wifi usb dongle and a usb keyboard. The pc is hooked up to a 40" lcd tv via HDMI.

This is what I have done so far to try pin pointing the problem:

* Installed the nvidia package from the ArchLinux repositories = results in kernel Oops when trying to run X.
* unistalled the ArchLinux nvidia package and installed the driver available on the nvidia website (the .run file) = results in kernel Oops when trying to run X.
* Removed one stick of ram and tested each stick individually on both slots on the motherboard = results in kernel Oops on all tries when trying to run X.
* Installed xf86-video-vesa from the ArchLinux repositories and used that module in xorg.conf = results in no kernel Oops and a well working X environment.

My xorg.conf is very minimal as it depends on HAL to detect what needs to be loaded.

As I said earlier, the nvidia guys says it is kernel related. How do I determine what is causing this? I am so close to having a perfect setup but this stuff is beyond me. Would it help if I compiled my own kernel?
Any help is much appreciated!

This is the output from dmesg as I try to boot into X. The full nvidia bug report is available if needed.

What is a kernel oops? Kermel panic?

antis · 2009-07-29 07:37:20

As far as I understand a kernel oops is a milder form of a kernel panic.
The only difference is that the system doesn't get to a state where the error is completely unrecoverable. Some features stops working but others continue to work as normal. The system might become unstable though and will probably not work as intended.

The problem is (for me) that I have no idea how to diagnose the problem.

pyther · 2009-07-29 11:10:56

I suppose you could file a bug report for the kernel. They might be able to help. It might also be useful to a do a git bisect on the kernel sources to determine when the problem started.

lilsirecho · 2009-07-29 15:50:02

Perhaps you can try the "kernel panics "(method 2) in the wiki which re-installs the kernel and mkinitcpio.

antis · 2009-07-29 20:18:05

I actually just made a reinstall of the kernel package. I first removed it from the pacman cache and simply did a "pacman -Sy kernel26". To be on the safe side I also reinstalled he nvidia package.

Lo and behold... at the first reboot everything seemed to work and I had no problem starting X. To really makes sure that this was not just a fluke I rebooted again and... there the error was again

If the hardware somehow is not supported, I feel that I would never be able to boot. But now, when it works on and off, I really don't have a clue what to do.

Pyntux · 2009-07-29 20:29:52

This is offtopic, bu just a question for @antis...Why don`t you try to compile kernel old school way? I think its better...

@Pyntux: That has crossed my mind but I really don't know what I could do that the Arch developers hasn't already done. Also, for some one like me who have never compiled a kernel before, it feels like a mountain to climb

mutlu_inek · 2009-07-29 21:13:29

antis, you could try one of the kernels in the AUR, for example kernel26zen-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13900 It is not more difficult that building other PKGUILDs.

This package builds an (unstable) kernel with a nice set of patches. It tracks the most recent release candidates and is therefore most of the time a little ahead of the stable kernel. Right now it is at 2.6.31-rc4.

Of course, unstable software may eat your breakfast. Or your data.

Edit: I just realized that the nvidia module will probably not run with such a recent kernel. Scratch that.

Perhaps your memory is flaky...

Perhaps try changing the chips around.....

I have already done that. I have two 2Gb modules and I have tried running both of them separately in both slots but it doesn't matter, I still get the Oops. Maybe the memory isn't at all compatible with the motherboard? I think I will email Zotac and ask.

Again, what is strange is that it all runs well without the nvidia module. With runlevel 3 or with vesa loaded it seems that I can run this machine through the roof without having any problems.

Thanks alot so far for all ideas!

connexion2000 · 2009-07-30 10:05:05

As for now, please try to install and use xf86-video-nouveau instead of nvidia driver and tell us if it works as expected. Then you should file a bug report for nvidia or kernel.

antis · 2009-07-30 15:41:49

@connexion2000: I installed the nouveau driver and I can launch X alright. I do however see on the nouveau website that the driver is not expected to work on the 9400 series cards which is what I have on the Zotac ionitx-b motherboard.

But as I said, I can get into X without a kernel oops but I don't get the performance out of the driver as I wish. I want to run xbmc but the screen goes black when I start it.

Now I see though, that I get an Oops when issuing "lsmod". Sigh...
I have decided to do this the hard way and install another distro to see what happens.
If that also gives me an oops I'm gonna go to the local park and play some frisbee golf with this motherboard.

Edit: I changed my mind. I will borrow some DDR2 memory from a friend tomorrow to absolutely make sure that this isn't causing the problems. Then I will reinstall... and THEN I will play frisbee golf.

Alrighty then. This might be on it's way to being marked as solved.

I browsed the bug section of the Arch website to learn how to file a good kernel bug report. Right at the top I found this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15270

It applies exactly to my problem where my usb wifi dongle uses the rt73 module which seems to be broken. I removed it and have now started X 3-4 times without any errors. Hurray!

I'll keep testing this for a few more days before I really trust that this solves the problem.

Meanwhile, a big thanks to you all for giving me input on this problem.
I really appreciate it!

ould · 2009-08-02 13:43:54

How is the setup working now? I am think of getting the same board and running Arch so want to make sure everything is kosher before I order. I won't be using wifi at all so I will just disable it.

It is working very very good.
My plan was to run this set up completely fanless which is why I opted for the single core instead of the 330 dual core. However, I have a pretty small case (Silverstone LC09) and it just gets too hot to not have the cpu fan mounted. With this knowledge I would probably have bought the dual core instead.

Other that that, it plays pretty much everything I have thrown at it. I am yet to try true HD (1080) though but 720-material is no problem. Divx and mp3 is of course a piece of cake.

As far as hardware compatibility goes Arch looks to support everything out of the box. I have done nothing extra in order to get eg vdpau and sound over hdmi to work.

It's a motherboard that is easy to recommend.

Thanks makes my decision easier, I thought you had the dual core, I guess I misread, I am definitely getting the dual core when the time comes. Is the XBMC interface snappy? That was the only concern I had, I don't generally use a crazy skin like Aeon so I should be ok I think, any comments on skins?

Thanks again,

Kevin

antis · 2009-08-03 15:49:44

We're going off topic here but hey, this is fun! Someone stop us if necessary

The interface is quite snappy although Aeon feels a bit heavy. I'm new to xbmc so I'm still testing things out to see what skin, plugins and other features I'll use. PM3HD is working very well as a lightweight example for a skin.

With Openbox running in the background and a handful of daemons also working (sshd, apache etc) the footprint is pretty low. Memory usage is right now 230Mb of (over sized) 4Gb. When at the home screen in xbmc the cpu usage varies between 2-20%. I don't know why it varies so much even though it's not processing anything.

Thanks for the update. Try out the "Transparency!" skin. It is what I am currently using and love it. Minimal with great looks and functionality.

Hopefully I can order my setup soon and begin tinkering. I think I may try to do a network boot so I don't have to worry about a hard drive. :-)

JuanSinMiedo · 2009-10-08 14:50:20

Hi there.
Would you please publish your Xorg.conf
I'm a newbie in Archlinux. I'm having a few problems with my Zotac ION itx D motherboard. Every time I startx it freezes with a white smal (320x240 more or less) screen on the top left corner (rest is blank). It seems it doesn't load the nvidia driver and goes with vesa. I'd like your Xorg.conf as an example for mine.
Thanks a lot.

ould · 2009-10-08 17:00:58

Are you sure the white box in the corner isn't an Xterm? That is usually what loads in X by default if you have not modified your .xinitrc to load what you want i.e. xbmc/gnome/kde/whatever... in any event here is my xorg.conf for your reference.

Thanks a lot Kevin. It helped. Finally I got Xterm working (it was that screen, but I had it frozen).
Now I have another problem starting XBMC, but I've opened another thread (don't want to kidnapp this one).
If you'd like to take a look it's: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 48#p643448

As I said, thanks for your help.
