Hi all, I installed etch on 2 ibm x305 (cisco rebranded) with 2 sata drives connected to a Adaptec AAR-1210SA controller. I set up the disks as jbod and software raid through md. I'm using the stock kernel that comes with etch, no unusual patches or self compiled packages.
After some time that the machines are running they start to lock on accessing disks. The time between lock-ups is not always the same. The server load is not always the same (problem occurs on heavy loaded server and on light lodaed server). I have nothing in logs (obviously, since disks stop working) and nothing on the console. I set the slow_down=1 parm in sata_sil module , passed the noapic and acpi=off as kernel boot parameters (someone said that this solved issues with random ibm x305 lockups) , but the problem still occurs. Please let me know what kind of informations should I give to help clarifying (and solving :-) the problem. Thanks in advance, Francesco. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
