    Greetings,

     

                We have a Compaq/HP ProLiant DL380 G3 (GigE) experiencing
    frequent lockups. The machine is a build server running RHL 8.0 (Psyche)
    with the default 2.4.18-14smp kernel (the machine is a dual Xeon), and
    has almost constant disk activity. The machine locks up consistently,
    though not on a particular interval...Usually it will go for 16-24 hours
    without a reboot, but sometimes it can be 20 minutes, sometimes it can
    be for days at a time. I can't point to anything more than the constant
    disk activity that makes me say this, but could it be an issue with the
    SCSI driver? Here is what dmesg has to say on the subject:

     

     

    SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00

    kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

    Compaq CISS Driver (v 2.4.30)

    cciss: Device 0xb178 has been found at bus 1 dev 3 func 0

    cciss: using DAC cycles

          blocks= 71122560 block_size= 512

          heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 8716

     

    blk: queue c042e400, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff)

    Partition check:

     cciss/c0d0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 >

    Journalled Block Device driver loaded

     

    The machine also has two integrated BroadCom BCM5703X GigE chips (only
    one is beng used).

     

    Can anyone suggest troubleshooting techniques? Are any of these drivers
    known to be problematic?

     

    Thanks,

    Justin
