I'd be interested to hear how stable your system is running
under real load (i.e. load > 5 or even > 10, and with serious
hard disk and network activity).
My dual Celeron-466 system freezes after some random time
(could be a few hours) under heavy load (no panic, keyboard is
dead, so I can't get into DDB). A simple "make world" is
usually not enough to reproduce the problem. The system runs
perfectly fine with a UP kernel (tried it with both CPUs).
The problem seems to occur less frequently with 4.0-current
(a snapshot from June 22nd); it usually takes 2 or 3 days until
it freezes. But the problem is still there.
(BTW, I'm running the system overclocked to 2 x 525 MHz, but
the problem is not related to that at all. It occurs at 466
MHz just the same.)
Regards
Oliver
PS: This is an MSI 6120 mainboard with two MSI slot adapters
which have a jumper for dual Celeron support, two Celeron-466
(PPGA) "in the box", 128 Mb of PC100 ECC memory.
The network interface is an MX (Macronix?) 100Mbps card, and
there's an old NCR810 Fast-SCSI adapter and an even older ISA
VGA card (text mode only, no XFree). Nothing else (well,
floppy drive and PS/2 keyboard).
PPS: Is there a way I can provide any debug information if
the system just freezes? It looks like a deadlock somewhere
in the kernel.
PPPS: "make buildworld" is 52 minutes here, with an old (slow)
IBM DCAS connected to the mentioned NCR810 adapter.
