Thanks for reply. My apologies if my original post was a bit harsh and/or
lacking in substance. I was running 3 smp boxes, but since these
webservers of mine were serving mostly static pages I yanked the extra
cpu's because I thought that had something to do with the lockups I'm
seeing. It didn't make a difference.
I've started putting 2.2.14pre15 with ikd on a couple of my servers to see
if I can get some more info on what's been happening. I do have a problem
with SysRq, probably because of my serial console setup. Any suggestions
on how to work around that?
Below is some more info about my systems. Thanks again to everyone that's
offered some advice.
