Kernel crashing while running HDD benchmark

[Sagi Bashari]

Hi,

I'm trying to run bonnie++ to stress test the HDD on a new server.

I have 2 WD1200JB (120GB/ATA100/8MB cache) set in software RAID1. I'm using the onboard ATA controller, and I had the same problem while trying to use promise onboard raid as ATA controller.

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+. According to lspci, the IDE controller is:
00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] IDE (rev 04) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])

The server is running RedHat 7.3 with all updates. Kernel is default redhat kernel 2.4.18-17.7.xsmp (SMP - 2 athlon MP cpus).

I'm pretty lost here - the server is simply hanging after I start the benchmark - No ping, nothing on the screen (but strangely enough the cursor keeps blinking).

Sagi
