	Hello,

	I have posted this message yesterday but I don't see it on the mailing list.
	Sorry for the inconvenience if you see it twice...

	Today, I have tested hardware with diag-switch? and diag-level true and
	a serial console. Nothing to declare...

	Original message:

    Hello,

    A, U2 (2 GB, 2 UltraSPARC-II, 2 73 GB SCSI disks [raid1]) is running
	Debian/testing with 2.6.20.3 kernel. This station is used as mail server
	and I have seen some freezes. When it freezes, sysrq or stop+A do not
	work (not panic nor Oops, only freeze).

    I have tested 2.6.18 (from debian), 2.6.20.x without any success.
	When I boot with root=/dev/sda4 instead root=/dev/md1, system is
	more stable (but not enough to be a mail server :-( ).

    With 2.4 kernel and without raid1 (I don't understand  why I
	cannot use my raid1 volumes with 2.4 kernel...), system is
	stable and does not freeze. I have tested hardware with SUNvts
	(from Solaris 9) and it sounds good.

    With the _same_ kernel, an U60-SMP is stable. The difference
	between both kernel are only Sbus versus PCI support _and_
	ESP-SCSI version Symbios support. I suspect a bug in the
	ESP-SCSI support but I don't know how investigate. I cannot
	boot any 2.6.20 with debug option du to a "address not
	aligned" message when it boots.

    Any suggestion ?

    Regards,

    JKB
