Hello all,

I have a 2 node cluster, interconnected via crossed-cable and serial cable. I noticed that after some time, the serial link went down, with this message in the kernel log:

kernel: serial8250: too much work for irq4

This is on CentOS 5.2 x86_64 with 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 and heartbeat-2.1.4-2.1. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? It's a Fujitsu Siemens RX300 server. More importantly, is it possible to reestablish the serial link without takeover/heartbeat restart? (I think if I kill the ttyS0 hbread and hbwrite processes the other node will take over).

Thanks very much for answers,
Peter
