Hello,

We have a Athlon 1Gig with 1 Gig of Ram. We were running
kernel 2.4.3 from Mandrake 8.0 but were having pretty
consistent crashes.

The crashes would occur when large I/O bound processes would
start up.

After some research I found that there was a sync() bug that causes
the I/O bus to lock up. This bug was fixes in 2.4.6. We are currently
running 2.4.7 but are having the same problems.

The machine is:

AMD Athlon 1GIG
1 GIG Ram
Mylex Extreme Raid 2000
(3) SCSI HD's


Any ideas?

Joshua Drake
