I installed 2.2.12 on two servers, both Pentium Celeron 433/128K cache, 256MB
ram, no IDE, no floppy, no sound, text only console, on board Adaptec 2990
Ultra2Wide SCSI, 1 WD 18300 LVD Ultra2 Wide SCSI drive 18GB and onboard
Realtek 100-base-t ethernet. All of this is on the motherboard with a passive
backplane.
One ISA 3Com 515 ethernet card.
One server had no problem, the other locked up hard, requiring a manual fsck.
Thereafter it crashed and rebooted every few minutes.
Unfortunately these have no heads, being co-located, however I was able to
install 2.2.13Pre6 patch from Alan's directory and the problem disappeared
completely.
I do have the LVS (Linux Virtual Server/LinuxDirector) patch applied also.
It's working great except I'm having trouble keeping the loopback aliases from
generating ARP replies... (The subject of my next message.)
