Quoting Carl Lowenstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
One way to get an OS that does not have Linux kernel hang problems with hp/Compaq hardware and 64-bit AMD processors is to use
Some quick searches on my mailbox didn't get me much (and I'm woefully behind in this box), but if there's a thread on this I'd love to see it. I'm curious where this assumption of linux having a bug that makes it hang on HP 64bit hosts came from. We've been running hundreds of such systems for several years now and rarely have issues. Uptimes have been very good, mostly only limited by the below reasons or our reboots for patching & OS installs.
The only real hangs we ever see on these hosts at all are from either: 1. Users massively running the box out of ram/swap so fast the kernel can't handle it. 2. Serious bugs that are triggerd.. like a kernel bug related to tcp NFS mounts and in-band NFS/wan/tcp applicanes (that optimize wan links or obfuscate nfs servers behind them for "live" data migrations).
