I've had some instability problems with my new A64 X2 4400+ system.
I've had a system crash and a kernel Make that failed with the error
message that stated that there was an irreproducible error which was
probably due to a hardware problem. On my console there was a number of
messages saying that there were K8 Powernow Out of Sync errors.
Aug 7 20:52:26 nimitz kernel: powernow-k8: error - out of sync, fid 0x2
0xe, vid 0x12 0xa
I've changed the speed governor to Performance on both CPUs so that the
processors will remain in sync and I haven't seen any problems since but
it hasn't been long enough to tell if this has really fixed the problem.
I'm running 32 bit FC3 with a custom 2.6.11.12 highmem SMP kernel (the
Redhat 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 doesn't work on this system due to the broken
drivers for the nvsata and silsata drivers).
The system is an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ with 4G of RAM and an MSI K8N Neo4
platinum.
Has anyone else seen stability problems with the X2?
