[rhn-users] RHEL4 freeze

[Lamon, Frank III]

Sounds similar to a driver issue we had on a Dell 2650 - first with a Broadcom NIC then with an Adaptec controller. We replaced the Broadcom NICs with Intel NICs and used the Dell driver for the Adaptec RAID controller and haven't had  another lockup in about 4 months now.

Subject: [rhn-users] RHEL4 freeze


Hello! I have a serious problem. Our RHEL 4 system hangs unexpectedly, and 
before, every time, while copying "big" files over scp to it, that were more 
than 100MB, or some time when more. I thought the problem is over, when it 
managed to transfer 7GB, and run for about a week without any problems, but 
came back, just suddenly, without the copy, or doing anything special then. 
I watched the logs and the console, but there were no signs of error 
messages, even the System Request keys don't work, just reboot, what I can 
do then. The packages are upgraded to the latest version, the machine runs 
the SMP kernel, PIII, 2 processors. Anyone seen something like this? Or any 
idea or advice? 

It would be very good, to have this server stabilized, soon. 

Thanks, in advance, for any help,
Balázs
