Topic 189485

I have 2 boxes running a 2.6 kernel and 4 running 2.4 kernels. The two boxes running 2.6 have to be watched carefully because I will discover that E@H is not running. Looking at the transcript I see that the last thing that happened was a benchmark.

After the benchmark - nothing.

I kill BOINC with a control-C and restart and it gets back to work. The boxes running 2.4 don't have this problem as far as I have observed.

FWIW, the kernel flags I use to boot are -noapic -nolapic -noacpi

Cheers.

Which version of BOINC? I

Which version of BOINC? I know that for Windows this was an issue, and it was fixed (for windows at least) with 4.45 (I believe).

I am using

I am using boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu on all machines, I observe this problem only on two machines with Linux 2.6 kernels.

I check each of these machines using "top" and when E@H is not at the top I shut down BOINC and re-start it.

My machine particulars -

[root@toto ~]# uname -a
Linux toto.gw-router.comcast.net 2.6.11-6mdk #1 Tue Mar 22 16:04:32 CET 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ unknown GNU/Linux
[root@toto ~]#

Hi ! I also had the same

Hi !

I also had the same symptoms. Running BOINC 4.19, Wine, Linux 2.6.11 and later. The problem showed up about once a week.

It's reaching the death trap within 24 hours - let's see ...

I believe that this was fixed

I believe that this was fixed around 4.43. However, I am not certain which side of 4.43.
