Sorry to intrude, but I just want to check that I didn't miss any messages in this thread. Have you found anything that might be causing this problem? I think it's related to the 100% CPU utilization while writing full speed to both the ahc2940uw on pci and the 1542CP on isa. I realize this is not the easiest thing to debug; I had to sit and watch the screen for 90 minutes before it happened... Drop me a mail if you find anything. Thanks! /Palle Warner Losh wrote: > > In message <36D4B092.8B076D55@partitur.se> Palle Girgensohn writes: > : I've seen three crashes in the last couple of weeks, with a server > : box that's been running stable as a rock for two years, at least.
