Hi,
I just noticed (while looking at
/var/log/messages) that when I boot Linux (on a dual P3 500 with onboard scsi
controllers) there is absolutely NO PROBLEMS. XDM starts with the login
windows and everything looks fine.
As soon as I type the username/password and login
Xfree/KDE, there is a lot of "Parity Errors observed". Could the
problem be in the Linux/Ati rage 128 drivers for X ?
What I don't understand is that XDM is using
Xfree. So why the problem is occuring only when XDM gives the control to
Xfree/KDE?
I'm not pretty sure of the location of the problem,
but it's pretty weird.
There is PCI parity errors until I press
"ENTER" in the XDM login window.
Anything else on the computer will work just
fine.
Before entering the window manager or quitting XDM
or else, I can kill -9, ctrl-alt-backspace, /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm restart anytime
and there is no problem.
I can listen to my mp3s, do ANYTHING with the
computer...
but as I said earlier, as soon as I login using
XDM, or else, type startx, it starts making noise/bad parity on the scsi
controler.
I think it could be an IRQ problem, but the point
is that the parity error messages are only happening (and wont quit until I
restart the computer) when I use Xfree...
If it's a bug in the kernel, I'll subscribe
to the kernel mailing-list too... so here is
the information of the system:
