Since upgrading my ancient Gateway 6400 server to Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy),
the system has experienced a number of random lockups. I have been
working on trying to resolve the problem for a solid week with limited
success.
My Gateway 6400 server hardware is as follows:
* 2x 1GHz Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) CPUs
* 1GB ECC memory
* 1x LITEON LTN301 ATAPI IDE CD-ROM
* 1x Python 06240-XXX 8160 DAT Drive
* 4x IBM DPSS-318350N Fast Wide SCSI Drives (ServerWorks SCSI Controller)
* Intel(R) PRO/100 NIC
* RealTek RTL8139 NIC
* Generic embedded VGA display
My system is NOT running an Xserver. I re-installed the old 2.6.20-16
kernel that shipped with 7.04 (Feisty). Since then, I have experienced
10 days uptime without a single glitch! I believe that I can confirm
this as a kernel issue. Something has changed since the 2.6.20 kernel
that causes hard locks on my server. My system logs have not shown a
single error and Magic SysRq does not work for a safe re-boot. I also
tried a newer 2.6.23-8 kernel and was no better than the 2.6.22-14
kernel that shipped with Gutsy.
