I'm having some big problems with the 2.0.34pre16 kernel, amd lance PCI
and 3com 3c905 cards.
- In the case of 2.0.34pre16+amd lance I can lock the machine within 15
seconds simply running
tar cpf remote:/dev/st0 /
Completely freezed, no logs, black screen, no Alt+ScrollLock. I have to
hard reset it.
The same tar command with kernel 2.0.33+some patches terminates correctly.
I suspect the network card because some other stressing tests on the local
disk have no bad results.
The machine is a pentium 100 Mhz with 40 Mb ram and two ide disk with two
different linux installations on them. The amd lance is compiled as a
module.
- In the case of 2.0.34pre16+3com 3c905 when I try a level 0 dump from the
dump server using amanda I obtain a panic message:
skput:over: 001922d4:232
That address is between:
001920a8 t boomerang_rx
00192480 t vortex_close
and the error message is in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/skbuff.h:
if(skb->tail>skb->end)
{
__label__ here;
panic("skput:over: %p:%d", &&here,len);
here:
}
This machine is a PII 233 Mhz with a 2940UW and a ide disk. The os is on
the ide disk, the scsi disk is for the home directories.
The kernel configuration file is the same for the two machines, both
redhat 5.0 with all patches:
