Subject:   SMP freezes on 3.2-STABLE
Message-ID:  <Pine.GSO.3.96.990828234142.11606A-100000@hermosa.cinenet.net>

I've been trying to track down continual freezes on 3 servers running
3.2-STABLE.   

The machines are very busy web servers and simply freeze randomly after
2-5 days of uptime.   There is no response from the console at
the point of freeze.  I cannot get it to dump core either.   

Machines are PIII-450 on ASUS P2B-D motherboards with 256Mb of RAM & 800M 
swap. All machines are NFS clients mounting off a Solaris X86 server.
The output of mptable is attached below.  I've tried MP 1.4 as well as
1.1.

I don't know if this is a problem with 3.x in general, and I have read
about larger sites like yahoo running smp-stable.  If some of you are
running SMP in a busy web/nfs enviroment, I'd love to hear from you.   

Any help is appreciated.
