ok. i am definitely having problems with this new opteron machine we have... 

only thing i can see remotely close to an error or warning msg is this from 
the kernel:

i get this message as early in the boot process as when it decompresses to 
begin boot:

"kernel mapping table up to 100,000,000 at 8000:d800"

 this is a linux 2.6.18.3 kernel

2.6.18-vs2.1.1-gentoo-r1

could this be a disk controller address?


last week the machine died twice both with disk errors, the 2nd time it 
actually scrambled a few sectors in a lvm partition in the website vserver. i 
had to run shred on the partition to fix it.

just this morning, initially i had no warning something was wrong until i 
tried to execute any command and got back  'command not found'. turns out the 
running system could not access the disk array in any fashion. a power cycle 
brought it back to normal and it has been running ok for the past few hours.

in case it helps
hardware is
2xopteron dual core 265
tyan 2882D motherboard
4gb registered ram
2 sata2 drives in raid1 configuration.

could i have a setting wrong in the kernel?
