Description Pavel Urban 2001-05-09 14:56:31 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
Under heavy load the kernel driver for qlogic's qla 2100 spits out many 
messages which makes me VERY uneasy. Under 2.2.19-6.2.1 it haven't crashed 
yet, under 2.2.17-14 it even rebooted server with data corruption (it 
happend during night backup, without further messages/dumps, sorry). 
Hardware is Dell PowerEdge 8450, 4 Xeons, 4G RAM, PowerVault 650F. I'm 
attaching part of /var/log/messages to this report.

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
In our case, it happens while backing up Interbase's database with gbak, 2-
3 files, 2 GB each.

Does it help if you boot with the "noapic" option at the lilo prompt ?
Comment 3 Pavel Urban 2001-06-04 09:37:04 UTC 
Seems like it helped. We'll try some stress-testing and then probably close 
this report. Thanks for the tip!
