Description
Need Real Name
2002-11-19 16:56:55 UTC
I am experiencing this exact problem on a Dell PowerEdge 2550. 7.3 with all applicable latest packages and the 2.4.18-17.7.x-smp and 2.4.18- 18.7.x-smp both lock up the machine. My timeframes are 2-12 hours. I have yet to maintain a system beyond about 12 hours. This machine uses ext3 and the tg3 gigabit ethernet card. System locks hard, no oops / log messages. I would be delighted to provide more troubleshooting/testing as required. Untill then I will be attempting to use the 2.4.18-10smp kernel as mentioned by wimple.edu I would look into tg3 driver as possible problem. I have a Dell 2650 with tg3 card with 2.4.18-17.7.x-smp modified by me to use the old 0.99 tg3 driver and it has been stable so far (knock on wood) - 13 days so far, and with the normal 2.4.18-17.7.x-smp I was getting frequent kernel opses in tg3 driver. Though I do have to say that even with 0.99 I had serious NFS problems when tg3 was operating at gigabit (can't talk to nfs server...), at 100Mb with rather heavy traffic it is rock stable. |
