Kernel bug in SLES 9

2009-01-06 Thread van Sleeuwen, Berry
Hello listers, Our datawarehouse machine suffers from a kernel bug. In the past year we have had this issue, sometimes even every week. Usually the bug appears when performing an archive but it also happens at other times. In all cases the machine has a high IO load. We have upgraded the

Hello Berry, I have no advise on your specific problem, but a kernel bug, oops, warning or panic is a very strong indication that this is a real code problem. I suggest to open a service request/problem ticket. hope this helps Christian Message from /var/log/messages: kernel: kernel BUG at

Multiple Network Interface Routing Problem

2009-01-06 Thread Sollenberger, Justin W Mr CIV US DISA CDB24
We are currently running a SLES 10 SP2 guest (hostx) with access to three networks (eth0, eth1, eth2). The issue we are having is that the default route is not correct after an ipl. If I delete the incorrect route (using: route del) and add the correct route (using: route add) everything works

There's no guarantee in what order a network interface will initialize, so I think the confusion is with multiple default route specifications, and you're getting lucky with the other machine getting the right one. There should be only one default route specified. The route add/del flushes the

Justin, We have systems with multiple network interfaces. I finally had to modify the default route in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes to look like this. default 32.71.175.1 - qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0600 Notice I had to use the persistent name for the interface. The eth0, eth1 type of name can

Mark, Come to think of it, the last time I remember having device names change on me was a few of the systems that I upgraded to SLES10 SP2. I don't remember what level of code I was coming from-SLES10 or SLES10SP1. I still think I will stick with the long names for the time being. On most of

Hello Mark, Thanks for your comments. This workaround would be an option. We'll have to look into that. I did find that some work has been done when I was looking into the aio.c. And also that some parts have been discussed for some time now. The aio.c (and aio.h) have been changed to some

Thanks to all who replied. I was able to get it working properly by removing all of the default routes except for one. I also replaced those default routes (in the ifroute files) with the other more specific routes. Now my route table look like this: Kernel IP routing table Destination
