kernel config

Hi.

HW: Server Board Intel STL2, 2x P3 @ 1GHz, 1GB ECC RAM

SW: self-compiled kernel 2.6.30.4 on Debian Lenny

Symptom: PC completely stops responding (ping, ALT+F2..., Numlock,
CTRL-ALT-DEL, ALT-SysRq)

Traces: No Oops, nothing in syslog etc.


I think it's not HW failure, because it never happened when

 * 2x dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b

 * 2x dd if=/dev/zero of=test-x bs=1M count=200000

such tests take a long time on this HW (51min and 85min) and checksums always
OK. Tested many times.



Anyway i'm usually able to invoke Hardlock in 2min. I use a script:

#!/bin/bash

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b &
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b &
cd /home/pik/a
md5sum -c office.md5 &
cd /home/pik/b
md5sum -c office.md5 &

So i run this stress script _and_ begin FTP write to the same HDD. Usually
Hardlock itself, but if it does not Hardlock in 60sec i can help it with
another dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=200000).


Also why should not be HW failure - No complains of EDAC and happens on
different HW:

 * PATA drive IC35L040AVVA07 on ServerWorks OSB4 (MOBO's chipset aka IB6566
South Bridge)

 * SATA drives 2xWD5000AADS in md0 on Sil3114

 * Network card: PCI-X, Intel 1Gbps 82543GC

 * Network card: PCI Realtek RT8139


Today when doing last test for bugreport there was a trace, but the HardLock
was not 100% same (as always ping stopped working, console switching did not
work, no Numlock reaction, but Alt-SysRq worked). Hope its not misleading - see
attachment.


Another prove(?), that this is not HW failure:
  * never happens with Debian's 2.6.26-17lenny1 all_generic_ide=1 gcc4.1.3
  * easy to trigger with 2.6.30.4 gcc4.3.2

...i know know different kernel version, kernel parameters and gcc, but HW
error would occurred anyway.


config kernel, dmesg, lspci atached.

this may be http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933
(someone mark it as duplicate then)

can you check if 2.6.29 works without problems ?
