Update 4: I found the receipts for one pair of sticks and took it to MSY in Melbourne -- they were replaced on the spot without any questions asked. Very happy.
Update 3: The errors were all due to 3 bad ram sticks. Using the only good stick
everything works fine. That's 24 Gb of bad ram...this won't be cheap if I can't find the receipts...
Update 2:
Running memtest86 I caught lots of errors (51 in 50 minutes) before I killed the test. I'm currently testing each stick one by one. I'm hoping that what is seemingly RAM errors can be caused by inapproriate BIOS settings, because 32 Gb bios is not cheap to replace...
While I'm swapping RAM sticks I'm also testing a separate set of stick on a different box. If they are error free it will be interesting to see if they trigger errors on the troublesome node. I'm still hoping for BIOS as being the culprit...
So far
three out of four tested sticks have shown errors -- they all happen during test #6. The fourth stick has passed all tests seven times.
Update 1: dmesg also shows the same message as the OP here sees:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909702
The OP puts it down to a misconfigured bios, so the quest continues.
Searching for 990FX and FX8150 I get a number of hits:
Here's a
newegg review for 990FX:
I purchased This MB to run with the AMD FX 8150. I have built computers from high end to low end and know the ones in the middle last the longest and are the most stable.
[..]
At this point the fun of the build is gone, and I have too many hours dealing with problems.
And that's not the only negative FX8?50 + 990FX review.
The worst part of it is that I've been thinking about building another, identical node (good value for money) as well as recommending my build to a student whom is about to do calcs.
Mind you, I've only ever had issues when it comes to compiling the kernel -- it's been solid when it comes to running calculations.
Original post:
NOTE: this is NOT a solution. Just observations.
My AMD FX 8150 is a great CPU -- it makes up the heart of the fastest of my computational nodes, and is eminently affordable. It does, however, cause me grief in one respect --
I can't compile the linux kernel.
The system
The box that's causing me trouble has
* AMD FX 8150 cpu
* gigabyte 990FXA-D3 motherboard
* nvidia GeForce 210 video card
* Corsair GS 800 PSU
* 4x8 Gb patriot viper PV316G186C0K RAM
While not top of the range, the components should be of reasonable quality.
In terms of software and OS, it's an up-to-date wheezy install (gcc 4.7), running kernel 3.7.2 (compiled on a different machine).
Compiling the kernel
I'm compiling the kernel as shown here:
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/342-compiling-kernel-38-on-debian.html
The errors are shown at the end of the post
The fact that the errors keep changing might also be pointing towards there being a hardware fault with my CPU, rather than with FX 8150 in general.
3.8 built fine twice, and crashed the third time. 3.8.10 crashed twice, then built fine the third time.
It all sounds like I'm having hardware issues...but they only seem to be triggered during kernel builds. During 'normal use (i.e. using 100% cpu for weeks at a time) it is perfectly stable. Compiling e.g. nwchem (another pretty heavy compile) also goes absolutely fine.
Troubleshooting something like this also wouldn't be easy. See the end of the post for a list over various errors that I was getting during compilation of different kernel versions.
Anyway, I hit google...
BIOS
That Windows has issues with 8150 might seem unrelated, but it appeared that my errors could be solved by a bios update to my 990 fxa-d3 mobo:
http://scalibq.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/amd-bulldozer-can-it-get-even-worse/
"The actual reported error is quite random, it just depends on where the CPU fails first. So you generally get a different error code with every BSOD."
and
"AMD’s KB article focuses solely on some boards with the 990FX chipset."
Well, I do have a 990FXA-D3 gigabyte motherboard.
My bios is shown by lshw as
*-firmware
description: BIOS
vendor: Award Software International, Inc.
physical id: 0
version: F7
date: 05/30/2012
size: 128KiB
capacity: 4032KiB
So the obvious solution was to flash the bios.
Turns out, flashing the BIOS is a headache on Gigabyte motherboards (not buying anything from them again). What happened with simply burning a CD and booting with it in the drive?
Flashing the bios
I downloaded the bios (version F8):
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-990fxa-d3_f8.exe.
I unzipped it with 7z, giving me 990FXAD3.F8 -- I then put that file in the root of a USB stick..
I've tried with a number of USB sticks, including a blank stick formatted with W95 Fat32 and keeping the stick plugged in before rebooting.
In Q-flash, I always ended up with a prompt saying Floppy A <Drive>, and when I hit enter it says '.. <dir>'. 0 Files found. Yet it also said Total size 7.48G, Free Size: 7.44 G, which matched the size of the USB stick.
Finally I managed to get it to work:
* in fdisk I only created a 1 gb partition on the USB stick, set type (t) to 6 (Fat16), made it bootable, and wrote changes to disk.
* I then ran mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sdb1 (my usb stick was /dev/sdb).
* I then copied the 990FXD3.F8 file to the usb stick root (after mounting it of course) and THAT worked.
Memtest86
Because RAM has traditionally been a major culprit behind hardware errors (especially the random, difficult-to-diagnose type) it's always a good idea to run a memtest. To do that, install memtest86+ (sudo apt-get install memtest86+) and reboot. There should be a new menu item (scroll down) in grub. Memtest takes quite a while, especially if you have a lot of RAM (32 Gb...).
Lo and behold, there are errors:
Tst Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-Bits Count Chan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 0 0007383b4f4 - 1848.2MB fffffbff ffffffff 00000400 1
6 0 00039c1f294 - 924.1MB fffffbff ffffffff 00000004 2
6 0 00120203034 - 4610.0MB 00000004 00000000 00000004 3
6 0 001ca16c464 - 7329.4MB 00020004 00000000 00020000 4
[..]
I counted 51 errors before killing the test (time to identify the bad stick). Many of these occurred in a more limited address space than those shown above. Sigh...the RAM was the most expensive part of this build...
According to this there's a slight chance that the RAM might be ok, but it's still not a good sign.
I've tested each stick by itself -- so far 3 out of 4 sticks have yielded errors during test 6. I did seven passes on the fourth stick and no errors.
The outcome
However, even with the new bios the kernel compiles still fail
-- it takes longer for it to fail, but it fails.
I do see the odd thing in dmesg though:
[ 4260.342268] as[29370]: segfault at 4541b5e ip 0000000000410306 sp 00007fff40ec4420 error 4 in as[400000+51000]
So either FX 8150 is still not properly supported by the BIOS, or I've bought a lemon.
The question remains: why do I only see failure during kernel compiles and no other conditions?
