Hmm. It's either a NMI problem or a run away interrupt. Unfortunately, it's seems to be specific to your H/W so it would be hard for us to debug it. You can boot into the kernel debugger and see for sure.. Add a -kd to the unix line in the grub menu. module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -kd set a breakpoint on deadman [0]> ::bp deadman continue [0]> :c run through a bunch of breakpoints and then see where we are.. Do that a few times. [0]> ,10:c [0]> $c [0]> ,10:c [0]> $c [0]> ,10:c [0]> $c [0]> ,10:c [0]> ::threadlist -v If you get this far, see if you can put the threadlist on a pastebin.. delete all breakpoints [0]> :z [0]> :c MRJ > Here's lspci output from Linux of the problematic qlogic card. > 10:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.
