Subject: 2.6.18 Hard lockup advice needed: do_IRQ: stack overflow 508
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 11:50:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45364D3C.3070204@pentek.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have a small Pentium 4 file server set up using version 2.6.18 of the Kernel.  The system contains a 
SiI 3124 based SATA controller, and I have a software RAID set up, with LVM enabled.   During normal daily operation, the system is stable.    However, when I perform nightly backups, and there is a lot of disk and network activity, as the data is transferred to a backup server, the system eventually locks up.   Unfortunately, there is no indication of a failure in the system logs.   I also enabled the NMI_Watchdog without any additional visibility.    By disabling the screen blanking on the console windows,  I do get a single message reported before the lockup:

do_IRQ: stack overflow 508
do_IRQ+0x69/0xbc 0xc0104ce4

If I downgrade to 2.6.17 of the Kernel, I see the same problem, but it takes longer for it to occur.

-Steve
