Doh, the bug was created prematurely. here is more info. One of our production Oracle servers got stuck on sunday. The machine did no longer respond to ping requests, and was completely hung. The last message on the serial console was ips 0000:08:02.0: Resetting controller. Searching on google, I find a message[1] claiming a patch in the ips driver from january 2006 will make the ips driver fail, hanging the machine. Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds we can apply to avoid this happening again? 1 http://www.thisishull.net/showthread.php?t=211796 2 http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux- 2.6.git;a=commit;h=15084a4a63bc300c18b28a8a9afac870c552abce
what kernel version are you running?
Also, do you have a similar traceback as reported in [1]?
The machine (tommy.uio.no) was running kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp (i686) when it hung. I do not have a traceback from the crash. :(
