Hello list,
I have the problem described below with kernels since 2.4.10-pre12.
If you need any more information please let me know. If you have
any sugestions, it is possible to do more experiments, because the
machines are not yet used for production.
Ulf
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Kernel 2.4.10pre12, ... 2.4.17 freeze on a specific type of
i386 hardware
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
We have several Fujitsu-Siemens machines (type i815e, lspci see
below) that freeze with "newer" kernels after 30 to 120 minutes.
There is no load on these machines (except me pressing enter from
time to time to see if it is still alive).
I tried 3 of these machines. All have the same problem.
No messages appear in the syslog.
Magic-SysRq does not work when the machine is frozen.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
kernel, freeze
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
By binary search I found the kernel version that introduced the bug:
2.4.10-pre11 is OK (after making it compilabe by adding the file
compiler.h and inserting some 4 #includes in the mm subdir),
2.4.10-pre12 shows the problem.
To track the problem further down, I applied only part of the patch
from pre11 to pre12. The original patch accessed 142 files and I
narrowed it down to changes in one or more of the following 45 files:

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
No Oops available
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
Just don't do anything on the machine. Boot and it freezes after 30
to 120 minutes.
[7.] Environment
[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
This is basically an out-of-the-box SuSE 7.2 machine.
(Btw. SuSE 7.3 with the SuSE 2.4.10 kernel freezes too. That's
the reason why I installed the 7.2 version)
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
