FWIW, I think I have tracked down the changes just prior to
7.1-RELEASE that is causing my Supermicro dual Xeon machines to
wedge. I did the binary search between 2008-10-02 and 2008-11-24
without reproducing any lockups, and then I went on to search between
2008-11-24 and 2009-01-04. An SMP kernel build from 2008-12-22
(r186409) sources was stable for over two weeks; a kernel built from
2008-12-29 (r186590) sources wedged in under 24 hours under moderate
load.
It appears that the significant changes between r186409 and r186590
were r186552 (delphij - reverted ATA changes) and r186535/r186534
(delphij - reverted bce changes). My machines don't have bce
interfaces, so I suspect the ATA changes.
Never mind. I'm stepping back through older kernels and finding that
the hangs are now occurring in kernels that had seemed to be stable...
