Hi, I have some problems with 2.6.15 and rt16 patch from ingo. I have the following problems : I can reproduce the problem easily after each reboot at any realtime priority with only one program. The problem occurs if all the IRQ's are affected to CPU 0 ( smp_affinity ) and the test run on CPU 0. Only one program which makes 60000000000ULL loops. Before I run this program, I type the command script to keep the results. When the test stop, I quit the script command <ctrl>d. I am in the standard shell. The result file from the script command is empty. This is how I find the problem : I have no more access to the file system. I can only do less and some other command. I get Input/Output error for all new command not in memory. If I try to ssh from another machine, I obtain the following messages : [root@dist2 root]# ssh dist1 root@dist1's password: Last login: Mon Jan 16 11:13:49 2006 from dist2.btsn.xxxxxxxxxx /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority I can't access .Xauthority file which exists. I could access it before the test. At this point, If I try to reboot, I get the following messages. <CTRL><ALT><DEL> => INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown" /sbin/reboot => Input/Output error Before launching the script and the test, the system works correctly. If you need more infos, I can try some commands, debug options ... Do I need to use a special CONFIG option ? With more debug infos, I get the following messages : ... mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort!
