Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi. While doing some file tranfers to our new server (a Compaq Proliant 8way XEON 500 with 4gb ram and an EEPro100 NIC), the box socked solid (no oops, no response via network, no response via console). The other hardware in the system was a Compaq Smart Array 9SMART2 driver). It's running Slackware 7.1. The other system was a dual P3 450 running Redhat 7.1 (Linux velocity.kuro5hin.org 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown) w/ 3c59x NIC. The Redhat machine experienced no problems. In Uni processor mode, the system is totally stable. But only using 1/8th of its power :-/ We had to roll back to 2.2.19 with a bigmem patch, but we'd like to have a stable 2.4 kernel to use (since it's so much better SMP wise, throughput wise, etc). -- www.kuro5hin.org -- technology and culture, from the trenches.
