Two (almost) identical Compaq DL380G2, 2x 1.4G PIII, 1G RAM, built-in 5i array controller, 6 scsi disks as raid-5, dual psu's. Neither of them could run SMP kernels since 6-CURRENT, however, a couple of weeks ago one started to work flawlessly with a SMP kernel after a fresh build septmeber 19th, no trace of instability. Yippiiee! Yesterday I bravely rebuilt number two from fresh sources with a SMP kernel and then started portupgrade but as usual, the box froze dead after a few minutes into php5 and nothing helped apart from a hard reset. It should be noted that during over a years time I haved circulated various components between them to try to make sure it is not a hw fault and I think it is not. The freezes *never* occurs with UP kernels. Also, I have tested RH and Debian Linix SMP, all OK. ACPI on/off does not matter. The machine that freezes has "rtfree: 0xc43ef000 has 1 refs" messages printed repeatedly on the console and syslog (address varies) and it displays "kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 201 to 200 packets/sec" during last part of boot. "vmstat -i" shows no significant difference. Some subtle details differ between them, the slightly newer one is the problematic: < CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1400MHz (1390.66-MHz 686-class CPU) < Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6b1 Stepping = 1 --- > CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU - S 1400MHz (1396.44-MHz 686-class CPU) > Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6b4 Stepping = 4 < ciss0: port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 0xf5dc0000-0xf5dfffff,0xf3ef0000-0xf3ef3fff irq 16 at device 1.0 on pci0 --- > ciss0: port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 0xf5ec0000-0xf5efffff,0xf3ef0000-0xf3ef3fff irq 16 at device 1.0 on pci0 < fxp0: port 0x2400-0x243f mem 0xf5db0000-0xf5db0fff,0xf5c00000-0xf5cfffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci0 --- > fxp0: port 0x2400-0x243f mem 0xf5eb0000-0xf5eb0fff,0xf5d00000-0xf5dfffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci0
