Well, I'd like to provide as much debug-friendly info as I can.
Basaically, it worked perfectly with 2.2.13ac3, but was horrendous on
2.2.10/11/12 and now 14.
All I see is the messages spewing forth about being stuck in TLB IPI
wait queue, with the machine non-responsive, until it locks hard.
sometimes, if I am lucky, I can get a Magic SysRq sequence to bring it
down ... and sometimes it actually works. Most of the time, it just
locks up.
I have noticed that it doesn't seem to matter when it happens. IOW, it
happens sitting idle, or in any load level. I am running a kernel
recompiled from RH's modified sources, and using RAID 0. No Additional
patches added. I was going to try ReiserFS, but with the reports of
this problem on machines with it, I figure I have enough problems. :|
Anything I can do to help track and destroy this bug, let me know.
