Hello, We are trying to run a net5501 with a lan1641 but we are facing a problem : The kernel crashes. What's strange is that we can provoke that by running a script which sends emails.
The logs show nothing special, the only thing we can do to get it back is to hard reboot it. We did the exact same test (same environment, same kernel) with a net4801 and a lan1621 and the problem doesn't show up! So, hoping that someone could help us with that (and is brave enough to set the same environment) here are all the details : The network topology is as shown in : http://cleia.org/soekris/test_network.pdf Yes, I know, putting a switch here is not clean but hey, it's just a test :) (and the "Fake ISP Gateway" only has one ethernet card). the net5501 is running a debian etch with a stock 2.6.23.9 linux kernel (configuration file at : http://cleia.org/soekris/.config) The whole distribution can be found at : http://cleia.org/soekris/flash_soekris.tar.bz2 This archive contains 2 directories : sdb1 and sdb3. They can be copied on a 2Gb flash card (this is what we're using) using the following partition scheme : Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Mount point /dev/sdb1 * 1 62 249952+ 83 Linux /boot /dev/sdb2 63 186 499968 82 Linux swap /dev/sdb3 187 1007 3310272 83 Linux / The other 3 "fake" machines are running a debian etch linux distribution. To do our test we use a perl script (http://cleia.org/soekris/test_mail.tar.gz) which we run on the "Fake Mail Sender" to the "Fake SMTP Server" (running Postfix). To use this script : ./test_smtp.pl --count=500000 We usually run two instances of this script to get the crash; it happens between 15 minutes and 10 hours...
