Message-Id: <199508231838.OAA19574@haven.ios.com> Subject: P120 PCI(Adapt.2940/SMC Eth.Power) and 2.0.5 - some problems To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 14:38:37 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1145 Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi there folx, A few days ago I got a few P120 computers ( Triton chipset with PCI { Adaptec 2940/ SMC Ether Power/ Trident SVGA) adapters and 64 MB of RAM. The first server which I've upgraded runs ~4000 accounts with ~6 Gb of HDD space via 2 Seagate Barracudas. Quotas are enabled. First thing - the server dies once in while. It doesn't just lock up - it dies completely. Doesn't even reboot - just sits there forever. Console is dead, host is not reachable via nothing ( incl. network). No diagnstic messages in /var/log/messages. Second - I saw it in the first time - all processes die with ERR. 4 - interrupted system call. I wasn't even able to login from the console. After I passed thru login procedure, tcsh ( my default shell) just died on me :( Details : no X11 stuff runs on that PC. Does anyone have any advices on how to distribute IRQs between those 3 PCI adapters ? Is it important ? Server does work for some time ( ~20 hours - 2 days) before it locks up ... Any problems with Adaptec ( ahc) driver ? Should I upgrade to never version of the driver and where to get it from ? Rashid.
