Holy crud do I need a cup of coffee. That was the dmesg from a different box. _real_
sorry for the extraneous e-mails. Here's the correct one.

> I'm running a Redhat 7.2 box (kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x) with an AMD

> Recently the machine started hanging when the 0 level backup script, which
> Dumped data from one IDE drive to the other, ran. It was choking on a file
> that when read in any way, be it copying or opening, locked the machine
> up. I ran e2fsck on the volume with a -c, and when it got to a particular
> block on the drive once again the machine would hang. I replaced the drive
> in question as well as the IDE cable for good measure, and patched the
> kernel and the xinetd per recent advisories. I got everything running
> again and proceeded to try to set up a partition on a new level 1 array
> I'd just set up in the external controller. During the mkfs the machine
> hangs once again, much in the same way as with the previous errors with
> the IDE disks.
>
> What I mean when I say hang is this: The machine stops responding. Hitting
> enter in the shell gives a new line but no prompt, ctrl-c and ctrl-z do
> nothing, switching to a different virtual terminal is no help, once again
> commands can be typed but there is no response. No amount of waiting
> yields anything new. Nothing comes up in /var/log/messages, everything
> just stops. Soft-reboot is impossible, I have to power-cycle the machine
> to get it going again.

>
> The machine has run nicely for 1.5 years now. Recent changes include;

> goofy SCSI card driver cause the machine to lock up when transferring data
> over the IDE channels?
>
> This is a production server and this problem is getting pretty drawn out.
> If I can't come up with a solution soon we'll be forced to abandon the
> Redhat machine and move things to a windows file server. I'd hate to see
