Hi All,
I am having a problem with a new Dell PowerEdge 1900 Server
running Fedora 8.
The System setup is as follows:
2 – Xeon E5310 (Quad-Core 1.6 GHz) processors
16 GB of RAM, I SATA 80 GB HDD.
------------------------------------------------------
The Error is as follows: EDAC i5000 MC0: nonfatal errors
found 0=800.
The system runs very very slow (I have a p3 that is faster
then this system is).
I have installed Windows 2003 Server X_64 and it runs very
very quick.
There are no errors under Windows, and there are no errors
reported by Dell’s diagnostic tools.
I have run Memtest86+ (for 96 hours) and there are no errors
detected there as well.
As soon as I install Fedora 8, the errors show back up and
the system just bogs down.
I have tried aliasing the EDAC files thinking that this may
be the problem, but all that did was stop the log messages.
I have noticed that it seems that each of the processors
peaks at 100% for 30 seconds or so and then it will move to another CPU,
for 30 seconds, etc.
I am at a loss on this one, and Google has not been able to
provide any answers, so I was hoping that someone else has experienced this.
Have you run "top" to see what process is sucking up the CPU power? In
my case, I made the mistake of running pcscd and that ate a LOT of CPU.
A quick "service pcscd stop" restored things to normal.
Before pcscd fans get up in arms, I don't plan to have smartcards on my
systems at this time. If I do, then I'll investigate it further. For
now, my problem is solved.
