I have a DPT SmartRaid IV (PM3334UW) SMP (dual 400's on a 100mgz bus) I was running RH 5.0 and a kernel from the 2.0 series (not sure which one) which had an excellent track record. I just upgraded to RH 6 and compiled the 2.2.11 kernel, to better use the SMP capabilities. While compiling that kernel, I started getting ext2 errors, and on reboot it had to rebuild the drive. A few days later, the system load went through the roof (around 50 before the system went completely unusable) and there were more errors on reboot, even though I did succeed in shuting down properly. Then, a few days later, (Sunday) I walked in to find error message like: Out of memory for sendmail. Out of memory for mingetty. and so on... Those crashes were using the recommended EATA/PCI driver. I just recompiled to use the EATA_DMA driver to see what happens. Does anyone have any comments on this situation? Let me know if I can provide any more information. Please CC me ( morto...@osprey.net ) with any replies.

The newer kernels fixed it, I think: I switched to 2.2.12 and it never happened again. --Gio' - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Get 2.2.12, anything between 2.2.6 and 2.2.11 did not make more than two days uptime here on a similar setup. Since running 2.2.12, all these problems are gone. I have 22 days uptime now. BTW: I have seen the 1s-ping-time bug, too, on 2.2.12 with an Intel EtherExpress Pro, short after restarting the network with the /sbin/init.d/network scripts (Suse 6.2 distribution). Down/up'ing the interface fixed it for a while. The problem re-appeared after several hours and I had to reboot.
