Hi, I have a Redhat 7.2 installed on a MSI motherboard (Kt266-Pro), 512Mb Ram, 1.4GHz Athlon CPU, Voodoo 3 PCI Video card and a Initio 9100UW SCSI controller. This is hooked up to a 4.3Gb SCSI drive. I also have a 20Gb IDE drive for general Storage. File System is Ext3.
The SCSI drive is the main boot and system drive.. Linux my_hostname 2.4.9-31 #1 Tue Feb 26 06:23:51 EST 2002 i686 unknown Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 ext3 372M 79M 274M 23% / /dev/sda1 ext3 45M 6.1M 37M 15% /boot /dev/sda5 ext3 703M 218M 449M 33% /home none tmpfs 250M 0 250M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 ext3 1.9G 1.1G 786M 57% /usr /dev/sda7 ext3 251M 76M 161M 32% /var /dev/hda1 ext3 19G 2.2G 16G 12% /usr/local/backup /dev/hda2 ext3 17G 3.6G 12G 22% /opt/archive Modules: Module Size Used by Not tainted autofs 11620 0 (autoclean) (unused) dmfe 14172 1 usb-uhci 21732 0 (unused) usbcore 51936 1 [usb-uhci] ext3 62624 7 jbd 41156 7 [ext3] initio 20704 6 sd_mod 11900 6 scsi_mod 98808 2 [initio sd_mod] The whole systems runs fine. Very nice in fact, but randomly the system stops. Just halts... It appears that the SCSI drive locks up.. The screen is always blank (Due to inactivity) and I cannot get any response. The only way out of it is a reboot (Press the reset button). And the log files show nothing, No erros, just empty (IE The system just stops) I am running the latest RH kernel 2.4.9-31 and all the latest RPM upgrades. I have checked and the initio BIOS is the latest available too.. As far as I know I have disabled ALL power management stuff. (but maybe I missed one?) This machines doesn't actually do much 90% of the time, but it does need to be up 100% of the time.. And it's usage will only increase... Can anyone give me some ideas as to what I may be able to tune to stop this happening? Or what info can I supply to maybe help diagnose ??
