Does /var/log/messages show anything amiss?
We had some issues on our Dell 6300 with kernels below version 2.4.16 and kupdated hanging during high disk I/O. The load average would skyrocket and then the server would be locked. If you are having similar symptoms and nothing shows up in /var/log/messages, and if you want to keep a Red Hat kernel, I would download the kernel source RPM for the latest Red Hat kernel (2.4.18-10 I believe) and build kernel RPMS for your system. Otherwise, download a vanilla kernel from your favorite kernel.org mirror and compile and update your kernel that way. Hope this helps, Andy. -----Original Message----- From: Tinu Patel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 9:31 AM To: Redhat-List (E-mail) Subject: RedHat 7.2 server freezes... Hello Everyone.... I have a RedHat 7.2 (2.4.7-10 kernel) server that has constantly been freezing. The machine will be on, but its as good as its turned off. When I go to the console, there is no video signal, and all I can do at that point is a cold reboot. I have replaced the NIC, changed the HD but to no luck. It is on a Dell 4300. I am beginning to think that it may just be some incompatibility that is causing these random freezes. I am considering upgrading to a newer kernel, or may be even upgrading to 7.3. Has anyone experienced such phenomena? Any suggestions/concerns?
