I got two lockups recently (October 13th). The cvsup date was October 6th. I had recently added a mysql server to the box (October 12th). Prior to this everything has been fine. After getting the two lockups (they happened one right after the other) things seem to be ok. I did nuke the mysql process to try to get things as close to before as possible. I had cvsuped this box only a couple weeks ago and have never had a problem with it in the past. Not sure if the MySQL was tickling something, or if it is something else. The machine is a mail server and fairly busy (low CPU load and a good bit of i/o), although nothing like our Diablo news server running Cleanfeed. The machines are exactly the same with the exeception of their cvsup date and maybe some kernel options. The news server is cvsuped to Sept 21. Both boxes are dual PIII Tyan's with Mylex RAID controllers. Not sure if this helps, but I came looking for any postings of "Lockups" and I noticed yours. Maybe this data will be helpful. -- ----- G Douglas Davidson | CityNet, Inc. douglas@city-net.com | Pittsburgh, PA voice: 412.481.5406 | fax: 412.431.1315 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
