Hi everybody, as my machine is now up for nearly 14 days, I'll venture another explanation that at least for my setup looks like it's causing (helping to cause?) the lockups. Scenario: As said before, there were 3 isdn cards in it. These cards had the habit to generate lots of interrupts. Lots. More than the timer on board (every 8ms, if I'm not mistaken). Well, I exchanged everything. I even exchanged the isdn cards (now there are only two, as I didn't have enough handy then). With the first try, one of the new cards did this interrupt-fire also. You guess, a lock after 7 days. I installed a new HiSax driver that knew how to switch of those irq in these cards. Well, I'm now at nearly 14 days uptime. So, under a machine with moderate load, this irq fire seems to upset the kernel so much that it does something to get some free time? Anybody wants to comment?
