Are there archives of this list available? I'm a latecomer and would rather
not bore everyone with things that have probably already been covered.
In case not, I'll go ahead and get the preliminaries out of the way:
I have a bp6 with 2x400mhz CPUs and 1 256mb PC100 dimm. None of it has ever
been overclocked. I've tried a variety of kernels, ranging from 2.1.12
through 2.3.37; currently I'm using 2.2.14 + ide.2.2.14.20000113, single
processor. There are four IDE HDs in the system, currently hda, hdc, hdd, hde
(the plan and eventual goal was hda, hdc, hde, hdg).
Even with all the tweaking, reconfiguring, and moving down to a single CPU, I
can't keep this thing running more than a few days under any kind of load.
The earlier freezes were usually hard lockups with no error messages at all.
More recently, they've been accompanied by messages about missing interrupts
and timeouts waiting for DMA when writing to (or reading from?) hde.
