Hi Chris,

Well, I think that I should explain why  I am not able to interpret the
error message to the letter and claimed of a hardware error.

Yes, I first understood the error message as hardware problem as it first  
appears last Feb.
In order to track it down  
  * memories was tested without error indications
  * motherboard/memory exchange with others computer  of the same making and 
tests replicated the problem
  * tested on a another computer of the same kind, problem replicated.
  * changing kernel to 2.6.24-21-server, 2.6.24-23-server, 2.6.24-24-server the 
problem occurred but not on 2.6.24-19-server. I have test that with the "test" 
server and today it is confirm with the production server.  

These computers ran on Suse 9.2 between 2005 to 2008 and then on Ubuntu
hardy since last summer without problem upto last February. From then, I
finally found that with  kernel 2.6.24-19-server  the main server of our
lab  is stable so we could reuse nfs protocol.

I could stay with this kernel for the server life. but, I am willing to
make further test if anybody have some suggestions. By the way, height
others  computers are avalaible  to test if necessary.


Thanks to all.
Laurent

Below the spec of the "test server"  the production server is just more
complicated (ex: adaptec raid controler).
