Segment Fault when rebooting after initial package installation using EMT64 processor on D945GTP with 10.0 (32 bit)
Last modified: 2006-02-28 10:23:02 UTC
This error occured in Suse 10.0 (on both live test and install). The chipset used for the installation was the Intel D945GTP. Two processors were tested with this chipset, 1.) Six Sequence Pentium 4 3.8Ghz (EMT64) 2.) Five Sequence 3.4Ghz (32bit). The installation went fine when using the 64 compatible DVD when using the EMT64 processor. Things got spicy when i attempted to use 32bit binaries with this chipset! When i used the install CD's (with 32 bit precompiled binarys) whenever the reboot command was executed, the machine hung. When further investigated, a segment fault was occuring on the last command of the /etc/init.d/reboot script (exec $command (reboot) -d -f). replacing this line with exec strace $command (reboot) -d -f (using the live cd) resulted in a SIGSEGV .... nanosleep({2,0}, {2,0}) reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1,LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2,LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART <unfinished ...> +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Master Resource Control: Running /etc/init.d/after.local .... Networking then tried to initiate?? at which stage the machine hangs. requiring a manual restart.
This doesn't seem to have anything with Installation (YaST) Binary /etc/init.d/reboot is part of the aaa_base -> ro
well, /sbin/reboot is from sysvinit, the code in /usr/sbin/reboot was from werner as well. Werner: any idea ?
Your hardware or BIOS is broken. This because the 32 bit precompiled binarys of sysvinit work here around on all i686. Btw: Why your're trying to use 32 bit precompiled binarys instead of 64 bit precompiled binarys? Please use the newest BIOS for the EMT64 mainboard because there are many reports that some BIOS versions for INTEL's EMT64 mainboard have problems which lead to SIGSEGVs even in EMT64 mode but most in 32 bit mode. You may also have a look into /var/log/messages to search for such segfault (try `grep segfault /var/log/messages').
