Hi all, I've been running 5.3-REL for a couple of weeks now and have run into various problems with panics. Initially I had a wireless card that wasn't supported natively, so I made use of the NDIS wrapper. This worked "ok" but was buggy and the card/driver would stop talking on the WLAN randomly, fix was to bounce the interface and it worked fine for a while longer. At one point downing the interface caused a panic, so I swapped out the wireless card with one supported natively. Works like a charm...at least wireless does. I'm still getting random panics, however. Doesn't appear to be related to anything in particular and seems to usually happen after being up for 1-2 days. I've attempted to get a coredump but the last panic wedged while dumping to disk. I'm going to be out of town for a week and won't have access to the box, but if anyone has experienced something like this before and knows of a fix, please let me know. Here are the specs of the machine: Dell PE6450 server, 4xP3-700 Xeon, 4gb ram, system disks reside on a 2 disk RAID1 attached to a MegaRAID controller. Wireless is a D-Link DWL-G520-B, also has Intel Pro/100 ethernet. Large storage is fiber-connected Clariion FC5700 via two QLA2200-C 64-bit PCI cards. Also attached via AIC-7899 controller is a DDS3 tape backup. Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I can test and give the results when I get back from Thanksgiving vacation. -- H.
