#148 Weird hang of builds on ppc
Closed: Fixed None Opened 16 years ago by jwrdegoede.

I'm trying to build ksirk, but for some strange reason the ppc and/or ppc64 builds get stuck.

So far I've tried 5 times and out of those 5 one build has managed to finish, and the others I have cancelled as they were clearly stuck, see:

I'll give it another spin for the F-7 build, but it would be good if the cause of this could be found and fixed.


Are you still getting these issues? If so could you start one and leave it in the hung state for me to examine?

I haven't tried any more as my last attempts succeeded.

Here is a scratch build for you which is hanging on the ppc arch (the hang sometimes happens on ppc or pp64 or both):

Ok, I'm looking (mostly with strace) on that server. Can you use mock to try to recreate this problem locally against rawhide? Is it only failing on ppc but doing so every time? Did previous builds work?

I've seen it hang on both ppc and ppc64, but never on others. It hangs sometimes (about 1 in 2 times), thus by many attempts I've managed to get it build for both F-8 and F-7 eventually.

I've tried reproducing it in mock on an infradead.org ppc machine dwmw2 has kindly given me a shell on, but with little success (iow my builds didn't hang there).

Just checking the status of this, is it still occurring?

It only happens when building ksirk, and I haven't had any reason to update that. Since it happened with both F-7 and devel, it doesn't seem buildroot dependent, so I guess if I fire another build it will hang again.

Can you fire another build and verify that it hangs?

Sorry,

I somehow missed your request for another build, still hangs this time on i386 though, see:

Surely this is fixed now. I'm going to close it if it is not please re-open it.
