		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.
