From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030318 Phoenix/www.chaz6.com Description of problem: I have installed RedHat 9 on 2 Dell PowerEdge 1650s and 2 PowerEdge 2650s. They have twin-P3 and twin-Xeon processors respectively. The Xeons have hyperthreading enabled. If i limit bind to one processor only it does not hang. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.2.1-16 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 9 on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 2. Install bind 3. Start bind Actual Results: bind runs for about 10 seconds then hangs. One can not obtain the daemon's status or perform queries on it. Expected Results: It should not hang. Additional info:
Can you try this with 9-2-2 version on RawHide to see if the problem is fixed. Thanks.
Thanks for the update... I'm afraid I cannot as all our twin-xeon servers are now in production :(
If it's in production, that's an extra reason to go ahead in upgrade to 9.2.2 as it has security bugfixes. I'm using it in production and it works great. Alex
How do I install it on Red Hat 9, bearing in mind it fails dependancy checks?
Never mind, used --nodeps. This seems to have fixed it. It has been up a minute now with no hanging.
One minute is good enough for me. :^) Reopen bug if it returns. Dan
Thanks! Still going with no problems :)
