For a quick rundown, I installed 2.2.5 from CD on a P150 (Tyan MB) with
256MB Ram, a 4GB and 6.4GB IDE and a pair of 9GB SCSI drives connected
to a 2940UW (that I have set to a max transfer rate of 10Mbps). This is
a news machine and I have the the ccd driver configured into the kernel
and I'm running the 2-9GB drives as one 18GB drive. The other kernel
changes are maxusers set to 256 and the mem size items set at 262100.
The machine has been failing and rebooting (without a core dump from
whatever caused it) more than once daily. I sent a message to questions
and got a few responses but nothing that helped.
I sent a note to the inn-workers list (since it's a list I'm subscribed
to) and got the suggestion to try dropping the max transfer rate on the
scsi's from 20 to 10mbps. Crash dumps were also recommended.
With it still failing I enabled crash dumps but that was only a disaster
as my 256MB swap file was apparantely too small for the dump the 256MB
machine generated and it overwrote the disklabel (at least that's all I
could come up with for a cause).
After getting it all running again (without crash dumps) I was still
experiencing crashes so I looked at INN's configuration. There were a
couple of differences there so I made the appropriate changes and tried
again.
Just now (after all day) it crashed again :( but this time I got the
following on the screen:
-----
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xc72074d2
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf016ab20
stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbffac0
frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffac4
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = 539 (find)
interrupt mask = bio
panic:page fault
syncing disks...
-----
I sure hope the above helps and that I didn't write all that down for
nothing :)
So does any of that mean anything?
BTW, find was transversing (sp?) the news spool and it crashes almost
every time news.daily runs.
Vince.
