Thank you Remy!   Your recommendation solved the problem.  Its been
running for over a day now without a single hiccup.

thanks also to everyone else who took time to respond with help and
suggestions.



I also noticed after some experiencing that you may try to restrict the stickiness only to the 8 marvell chips and let the other relocate dynamically but I haven't completed all the tests so I keep bounding to cpu0.

BTW, the solution was engraved on an old parchmail in the list and, as for you, it took me weeks to unearth it....


At the risk of being a bother, were you able to get all four ethernet
devices working?  on mine, only the first two are working.  the other
two get errors on ioport allocation.


I confirm only two over the four interfaces are usable. Have not looked farther.

Hi Ron,

Fighted the same problem on mine. It seems to be a problem of interrupts
dynamic routing on those old good opterons.

I fixed it by sticking all interrupts to processor 0 (cpuset -l 0 -x
..). Since then, it works without any trouble.

(hint.lapic.x.disabled=1 where x == 1, 2 and 3). Oddly enough the system
doesn't reboot anymore.
