At the next reboot, except a few things, everything works fine, but this is quite frightening. The server has an INTEL SRCU42L card, with RAID 5, firmware 2.34.05-R043. (iir driver) What would you change first in order to correct that problem? OS patch release? OS version? Raid firmware? The odd thing here is that swap ist not used at all on this server, built with 4 GB and where no more than 2 GB is being used. Thanks! Regards, ---------------- Philippe Lang Attik System
