Latest 1.2.3-20091106-2354 Randomly reboots
-
Upgrade the BIOS first, there is an update available for that platform that gets rid of the BIOS bug that causes the "tmp value absurd" message. I'm not sure what else that might fix, but it could be related.
-
Thanks for the reply. This is a Via C3 SP13000. The bios is revision 1.04 - although I updated with 1.07, the issue persists with the acpi hardware polling. Last update was 2005 - so I doubt I'll get anything newer at this point.
I've appended this to sysctrl.conf:
hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate=0
To disable that feature. The system still reboots though.

I have had this problem and rolled back to RC1 which has fixed the issue. I am using http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11714. At first I thought is was bad memory as I got paging errors but mem test came clean, and a roll back sorted.
I haven't gone back to RC3 as yet test test it again.

Is it possible that the re-introduction of the padlock driver is causing this?

Whatever it is, I rather suspect that it is related to the Via platform - I follow the snapshots closely with other systems, and only the Via C3 box is rebooting. Snapshots from 2 months ago were stable.
-
If you're curious, I have an image up that only differs from RC3 in that it has padlock enabled.

I don't have an equivalent without padlock though.
-
Its beautiful now - no reboots in the last 12 hours (it was happening every 2 hours approx). It makes me wonder what has changed - was it at all related to padlock, or just a coincidence?
-
No reboots with the same image you had? Or with the image I posted?
-
No reboots with your RC3 + padlock you posted - thanks
-
Ok, so it's probably not padlock then. Perhaps some other change since I built that one, or a bad builder run of some kind.
-
As a side note - Are there any plans to have padlock enabled (package added) to 1.2.3-Release?
-
Padlock should already be back in current snapshots of 1.2.3. It was added back a week or so ago.
-
I will do some tests with my system but I ran kldstat and I don't see the padlock driver being list although I am a novice so not sure if this is right.
I am running 1.2.3 RC3 so I will see if the reboot kicks back in.
-
1.2.3-RC3 build 7/11/09 still reboots.
-
I ran kldstat and I don't see the padlock driver being list . . ..
I expect that, in common with other drivers, the padlock driver is built into the kernel.
-
I have put the firmware listed above and it works fine but the latest snapshot doesn't.
-
Yes but not to sure on the build differences to cause a reboot.
-
Does any of the Devs know what is causing this.
-
I'm not sure anyone has even reproduced it, let alone knows what is causing it on your hardware.
-
I was wondering if there has been a driver change.
-
The only changes to drivers have been for Atheros wireless cards (ath0), and even then the change is simply reverting something that changed between RC2 and RC3.
