Linux 3.13.6-1 and kernel oopses

I'm not sure when this started because I don't check the output of dmesg very often but I've noticed that at least with linux 3.13.6-1 I get an oops when devices are removed/disconnected, I also see an oops after resuming from suspend.
This doesn't seem to affect the system but it's not how things should work and I'm not sure what to make of this. Anyone else seeing the same?
Here are a couple examples, oops after resume from suspend:

It is not an oops (crash). It is just a warning.
I see several bug reports in other distros
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69441
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073547
sounds like a bug in usb driver.

I think the new xorg-server is the problem as it isn't supported by this nvidia driver yet.
You could try to install the nouveau driver until nvidia comes with a new version of the 173 branch that supports xorg-server 1.10, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau for information. As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv and xf86-video-vesa.
Should i uninstall nvidia driver, then install it?
I think thats the easy way yes, else you have to blacklist the nvidia kernel module.. check the wiki link of nouveau for details.

Raid Driver and Kernel Module

I am having trouble getting the kernel to recognize the raid drivers which my card uses. The install of arch is fresh. The raid card is a HighPoint RocketRaid 2300. I browsed the AUR and found a PKGBUILD for an older version of the driver written by LoneWolf. I updated it to fit my needs.
The PKGBUILD I have is:
# Contributor: LoneWolf --Edited by Vitechy
pkgname=rr231x-0x
pkgver=2.1
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Kernel modules for Highpoint RocketRAID 230x and 231x SATA cards"

build() {
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/scsi/
cd $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/product/rr2310pm/linux/
make || return 1

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname
cp $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/README $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/
The post install script I used is:
# This is a default template for a post-install scriptlet. You can
# remove any functions you don't need (and this header).
# arg 1: the new package version
pre_install() {
/bin/true
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the old package version
post_remove() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
op=$1
shift
$op $*
Executing the PKGBUILD with the makepkg command creates a .pkg.tar.gz file. Installing the package with pacman -U nameofpackage.pkg.tar.gz reports that the package has been installed. Running pacman -Qs reports that there is a package, local/rr231x-0x on the system.
The raid card is still not functioning. Instead of seeing a raid array I see the individual HDD's which are connected to the raid card which is something I could see even before running makepkg. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have rebooted the PC but that has done nothing. Also running modprobe rr230x_0x or modprobe rr2310_00 returns FATAL:Module rr230x_0x/rr2310_00 not found.
Any help is appreciated.

PS. The md5sums in the PKGBUILD example I provided above is not the same one as the one in the PKGBUILD which is actually compiling on the server. The PKGBUILD above I recited from memory; however, I do not remember the actual number which I obtained by running makepkg -g. I will update as soon as I have access to the server again. I have updated the PKGBUILD above to exactly match the one im using on the server.

Oh, wow I didn't even notice that.
Modprobe was able to load the modules now; however, now I see the HDD's and the raid array. In other words running fdisk -l shows all of the HDD's connected to the raid card, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc as well as the raid array /dev/sdd.
The raid array has not finished building, so is it a possibility that that is why it is showing up. I will post updates when the raid array has finished initializing.

X server won't start after recent catalyst-test and kernel upgrade

Hi,
after recent upgrade of catalyst-test (13.2) and kernel (3.7.5), my x server won't start with this log (WW) and (EE) only:
[ 114.989] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
[ 116.077] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fglrx

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

for help.

[ 116.212] (EE)
[ 116.515] Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
My card is mobility radeon hd 5700, I'm running on x86_64 system. I'm using aticonfig generated xorg.conf. I will provide any other information if needed.
I've tried:
- to downgrade to catalyst 12.8 and xorg 1.12 (screen just freezes after trying to get to X, only poweroff button works (system catches the signal and shuts down softly - no errors in Xorg.0.log))
- to use catalyst-total 13.1 / catalyst-generator 13.1 (Xorg.0.log says something about *not* compatible module - i can try it again and give you the whole log, it is probably another problem)
- to use open-source drivers (poor performance, overheating)
- to check nomodeset option (present at all kernel images in generated grub.cfg)
Unfortunately, I could not find any similar issue solved in past few days...

Downgrading kernel to 3.7.4 actually worked for catalyst 13.1. Anyone knows what could be wrong for linux 3.7.5?
Edit: catalyst-test 13.2 beta works with linux 3.7.4.

Lots of hard locks and kernel crashes/oops ["SOLVED"-bad motherboard]

I have been experiencing a lot of hard locks and kernel crashes/oops(es?) lately. This computer has always had random freezes in both WinXP and Linux (various distributions -- including live cds).
Here is my latest crash (from dmesg):

I added nosmp and the other parameters at the install/rescue cd's suggestion. I tried using the microcode package (I have a P4 HT) as suggested by someone in another thread.
I've found that the freezes will happen at the beginning of heavy CPU or disk usage (such as compilation or pacman db parsing). The hd is not the original one from this system (it was a hand-me-down), so I don't think that's the problem. The video card is different and the RAM is new. The only components that are still around are:
P4 HT processor (2.60 ghz)
Albatron PX865PE II
Enermax power supply
Any ideas? It also says "bad eip value" when the system has kernel crashes (especially on boot).

How jvm threads works on new Linux 2.6 scheduler with SMP kernell

Hi,
i'm using Sun JDK Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode) to run tomcat,
anyone knows How JVM threads works on new Linux 2.6 scheduler with SMP kernel?
i ask this, because in a single processor machine the tomcat replies more fast than a dual processor machine, maybe the reason is, that SMP load balancing made for new scheduler, slow down the JVM performance for threads? there is a way to avoid this?
reference about Linux Scheduler: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scheduler/?ca=dgr-lnxw09LinuxScheduler
bug that have "same" problem: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5038858
thanks for any insight

This is bug:
6328462 Linux getCurrentThreadCpuTime() does not match with getThreadCpuTime(currentThread)
It will be fixed in:
- JDK 6.0 (Mustang) build b63
- JDK 1.5.0_07 build b01
The problem is that the HotSpot VM takes the stat info from the file'/proc/$tid/stat'
which is incorrect on Linux kernels 2.6+ with NPTL because this file aggregates
per-process (.vs. per-thread) usage on these kernels.
The file '/proc/self/task/$tid/stat' still has the per-thread usage and must be used instead.
There is also a performance bug:
6200022: JVMTI GetCurrentThreadCpuTime slow on Linux
This bug is about using new Linux posix compliant process clocks (2.6.10) :
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-10/msg00117.html
It is too late to fix this in Mustang but can be possible in one of the update releases.
Thank you for posting the question!

i have already posted about that in testing-forums, but since xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29 have moved to extra, though i'd create a seperate topic about that.
after i have upgraded to xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29 my wacom device (as built-in, not usb) on my thinkpad x41t stopped working.
before upgrade i have used xorg with hotplugging enabled. everything worked fine.
after wacom stopeed working i removed everything regarding input devices from xorg.conf -> no change
put an fdi-file for wacom -> no change
installed linuxwacom-dev -> no change
i don't really know, if it's a kernel or an xorg issue. loading wacom drivers manually still doesn't solve the problem. no warnings or errors about wacom in xorg-log or messages.log
how could i check, wether my system recognizes the device properly at all? it doesn't show up in lspci or in lsusb.
any help would be great.

well, upgraded again to xorg-server 1.6, disabled hotplugging, installed linuxwacom-dev from aur and the wacom works as allways. (had to edit xmodmap one more time, since kbd returns other keycodes than evdev does :-| ). no matter, done is done.
but intel driver returns broken graphics if i rotate screen with xrandr.
i guess there is no way around this execpt switching to the ultra-slow legacy driver?
just for comparison - glxgears fps:
intel: ~900fps
intel-legacy: ~280fps

Hard Feezing and Kernel Panics - Early 11 MBP

Hey just wondering if anyone has any insight into this...
I've been experiencing hard freezing and kernel panics on my Early 11 Macbook Pro for several months. The hard freezing only happens when I wake up my system from sleep. I'll open the lid and when it happens, within seconds, everything locks up. No spinning wheel, just frozen machine and I have to do a hard reboot. I also get random kernel panics as well.
I took it in the the Genius Bar a few weeks ago, they ran tests and said the hardware was all fine and that I should reinstall Lion after a clean format. Well I did that and still having issues. Not sure if it's being caused by a 3rd party app...or if I really do have bad hardware after all.
When they did a diagnostic they said that 'soundflower' was showing up in my kernel panic log and that I should find what that is and delete it, so I did. In my most recent and only kernel panic, shown below, I don't see any 3rd party language anywhere.
Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

Mac freezing and kernel panics

Please help if anyone can. I'm not much of a computer expert.
I apologize in advance if I'm not asking this question in the right forum or topic- I haven't ever posted before today.
I have a PowerMac G5 dual 2 GHz processor machine running 10.4.9. Lately I have had problems with freezing and kernel panics, especially at startup or soon after startup.
I have 1 GB RAM, 150 GB hard drive with 117 GB free space. I have no peripheral devices hooked to my computer- just an Apple USB mouse and keyboard that came with my computer.
Panics occur at startup usually, and require a restart using the power button.
Sometimes the system profiler shows that I have only 1 CPU.
I've run all the Apple hardware diagnostic stuff, Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, etc, and it comes up clean- no problems. I've run fsck -fy, and I've done a full erase and reinstall, then update to 10.4.9. Problem persists.
Sometimes I don't get the startup sound, and then everything freezes.
Sometimes it freezes on the blue screen and shows the prohibitory sign.
Sometimes when it freezes, the fans go wild and just keep increasing in speed until I force restart.
Recent kernel panic log reads as follows:

Can anyone help.
Thank you very much.

Based on that info, it sounds like either the optical or hard drive is beginning to go bad and perhaps the CPU on the logicboard. The fact it mentions iostorage, that typically deals with the storage devices on the computer. The fact that the CPU disappears is not good. Backup your data and try to replace the hard drive. See my FAQ* on backing up:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
A G5 takes SATA hard drives, and won't work with the Parallel ATA drives. SATA drives take the connectors shown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
The drive may still be under warranty even if the computer is not. Look on the sticky label on the outside of the drive.

Hello,
I am about to create a hosting server for a great number of websites. Since i never actually did it myself it will be relatively new to me. For that reason I want to use Arch distro because I like it, understand it and have most experience with it.
I wanted to hear opinions why Arch is suitable and why not for a server machine. Also, maybe someone could recommend other distros that are better fit for the job (provided there are any)
Thanks!

Short: CentOS is a pretty popular choice but I have no experience with it. You will need to make sure you have the latest security updates while also making sure that your keeping a good availability(up time), which could be a problem with Arch Linux.
Long: Security updates and system up time/availability. Making sure you have the latest security updates may effect your server's availability. This can be a problem if you have paying clients as the updates may break stuff. Arch Linux doesn't have an official security team but there are some community efforts underway. Take a look at the wiki under security, firewalls and sysctl.conf hardening. Also keep your eye are ArchServer. I use Arch Linux on my VPS but its only been for hobby stuff so far. As I've been getting closer to relying on my website professionally I've been considering changing to a different dist. of Linux; the problem is I'm most familiar with Arch Linux, don't want to go back to Slackware and I'm not happy with the way Ubuntu does certain things[init system, sudo/root setup](I maintain an Ubuntu LAMP setup for our Intranet).

Temp and kernel panic relation?

Is there a relationship between temperature and kernel panic?
I've spent the day restarting the computer trying everything I've found at apple discussions and support to fix the nonstop kernel panic restart requests.
After I Left the thing off for an hour - I gave up after my husband said my ranting caused Ga Tech to lose the Gator Bowl- I was able to get almost through the OS reinstall, which was about step number 45 in my restarts for the day.
so is this a temp problem? Is this chance or related to the cool down? Cannot wait for tomorrow to talk to someone at apple!

After you talk to them be sure to post back ...it may very well be related and if so indicates a hardware issue - meaning you may have to send it in for repairs.
When you mention it's a week old then I'm assuming it's a Core2Duo and not just a refurbished orig. Macbook.

Mismatch of version of external and kernel dp lib

Hello All
i'm trying to uppgrade a was abap kernel 7.00 from version 133 to 16 on db2 udb database.
I use the files:

Do i need to update other .sar files from sapnet ?
Did somebody have the same error ?
Thanks in advance .
Best Regards.

We had this same issue today and folks that are not familiar with sapcpe can really be at a loss on this error, so I'm updating some of these older threads for clarification.
When sapcpe is active, you actually have two copies of the SAP kernel on your Unix file system:
/sapmnt/SID/exe - Which is probably where you update your kernel (this version was at 201)
(aka: /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)
/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe - A location many don't know about (this version was at 133)
Typically, sapcpe keeps these two locations identical and there are no mismatch errors but if anything happens to your configuration, the next time you update your kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe, the replication does not occur and the mismatch happens as seen in (dev_disp or dev_disp.new):
***LOG Q00=> DpSapEnvInit, DPStart (18 22336) [dpxxdisp.c   1283]
DwSLCheckVersion: shared library version mismatch:
        shared lib "dw_xml.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201
        shared lib "dw_xtc.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201
        shared lib "dw_stl.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201
        shared lib "dw_gui.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201
        shared lib "dw_mdm.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201
This is made even more confusing because if you do an "ldd /sapmnt/SID/exe/disp+work" the results will tell you that it's reading those files from where you just patched your kernel. That ldd is incorrect, however. If the two copies of the kernel are not in sync, some files will indeed be loaded from /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe which will not match the other files that are loading from /sapmnt/SID/exe and you'll have the mismatch error.
Short Term: You can delete the contents in /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe and then everything is loaded from /sapmnt/SID/exe.
Long Term: Correct the configuration of sapcpe so that it keeps everything in sync and you don't have dualing kernels. (See note 1104735)

How do a Linux user switch to Mac and IPhoto

How do you as an Linux user switch to Mac and I Photo with example 30,8 GB 133 094 221 824 byte) photos 20 791 files , in 1 069 folders
How do I import them in a proper way that it make easy to find them in I Photo can I find them with the ease as it were in Google Picasa2 in Linux ? Or do you have to import folder by folder?

Svendus
As a new user I strongly suggest that you spend some time viewing the tutorials at
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
Secondly, I also suggest that you create a Library and import 100 or so pics and explore the app first. It's similar to Picasa, but also quite different. Best to get to know it.
How are your photos currently organised? In folders by date?
Date organisation is pretty pointless in iPhoto as you can find any pic taken on any day/month/year using the calendar tool or Smart Albums.
As you have 30k photos if you simply import them iPhoto will automatically split them into Events based on date. Expolore the options in iPhoto -> Preferences -> Events for how you might like them auto split: (Per day, per week etc.)
If you want to maintain your current organisation then simply uncheck 'Imported Items from Finder' and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane in iPhoto. There the pics will be imported and an Album + an Event of the same name will be created. You can then create the enclosing folder (File -> New Folder) in iPhoto.
A note about Events and Albums:
Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
Albums reference the pics in the iPhoto Library Folder. There fore a pic can be in 1, 10 or 100 albums with no wasted disk space.
Keywords are a very powerful tool for organising in iPhoto, and are very well integrated in to Smart Albums. Check them out.
Many folks who switch from other Operating Systems seem to prefer to manage their files themselves. However, I do not recommend this with iPhoto.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.
Lastly: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
By all means post back if you require more.
Regards

Extreme heating, full noise fan and kernel 150% cpu

My MBA is protected by Apple care and always had this heating problem.
Specially in the summer I have extreme heating problems, and kernel 150% of cpu slow down the computer irreparably, fan is at full throttle 6200 rpm and heating reached 85 degrees Celsius.
I have upgraded all the software, i read all the thread here, I have called the Apple customer care but i NEVER found a solution to this big problem.
Does anyone can help me to address the situation?
Thanks!

No, the cause and effect is opposite
It's not happening on mine. Here is my 1st generation 1.6Ghz MacBook Air w/Snow Leopard running a YouTube Flash video, Hardware Monitor and System Load maxed out at 100% for over 10 minutes.
http://macosg.co.uk/grabs/61071d8d0effa93c4816163b707cefc4.jpg
As you can see, the kernel task is only 3.0, CPU core temps are about 68C and the CPU clock frequency has not lowered. I might also add there is a Speck SeeThru case attached to the computer.
I suggest trying the same test. If your CPU core temps get considerably higher and kernel tasks rises at the same rate, I would say you have a cooling issue--possibly with the thermal module. The CPU/GPU may need more grease.
