Kernel BUG on modified Pro Pioneer. Can someone help?
Hello, For some time I have been having strange lock-ups in my Pro Pioneer. I'm currently running 4.2.19, and I have upgraded memory to 4 GBytes and the CPU to an E6700. I understand that I have vo...
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the comments.
It was clear from the start that it was either the CPU or the memory or the combination of both. So while I waited for comments I tried to narrow things down...
The first thing I tried is going back to stock memory. I have left the system like that for 5 weeks and have not gotten a single error or instability!!!
So, the possible causes are:
a) my memory was bad, which I doubt because I tested it very throughly
b) The combination of the E6700 CPU + the memory I picked up was bad. I tend to lean toward this because the FSB runs faster (1100 MHz vs. 800 MHz) with the E6700, and the memory I used was also very fast (SPD has aggressive timings). This could be too much for the ReadyNAS board. I noticed that the SYS temperature went down 2º when I put back the old memory.
So at least I get to keep the faster CPU. I now may try my luck with other memory types, maybe with more reasonable timings. Does anyone know if there is a way to force the FSB to run slower from Linux? All I have been able to do is read the setting, but there does not seem to be a way to control it.
