Well rhel4u7 kernel should fix the issue because it contain a backported version of the updated driver I haven't test it yet and I will very glad if Ibar can test it :-) I am not allow to update the kernel grid wide and is difficult to spot this problem in just one node :-( if I update the kernel in just one node and don see any more peaks I will not be able to know if it is because it fix the problem or just lucky the collection don't hit the right momment :-) The Developer kindly sent me a patch to try to fix the peak for BCM5706 in rhel4 (rhel3 kernel 2.4 do not have that problem in the same hardware) If you want it I can forward it to you thanks roger ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ganglia-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general
