Hi guys,
I have a little problem here. I have a pentium 133 server with a Cyclades board (32 ports). I have had the Cyclades board for about a year. On our old server (Pentium 75) it worked without a hitch under kernel 1.2.13.
The new server is running RedHat 3.0.3 with the 2.0-kernel updates. Currently I am running 2.0.12 kernel. The Cyclades board locks up solid. They only way to get it working is to reboot the machine.
Here is the hardware: Pentium 133 64M RAM Buslogic 948 with 2 2G hard drives generic SVGA Cyclades board SMC Etherpower 10/100
Right now I have the Cyclades driver loaded as a module (but I have tried it compiled into the kernel also).
The interesting part is that when it crashes I look at lsmod and here is what it shows: Module: #pages: Used by: ppp 5 2 (autoclean) slhc 2 [ppp] 2 (autoclean) cyclades 9 237 (autoclean)
When I did this there were 2 people using PPP and 20 getty's running. Should the "Used by:" count be that high. I checked on boot up it starts out in the low 20's.
BTW- Nothing shows in the logs or on the console. It just silently locks the board.
Anyone seen this before?
