| |
Hi-
This is a P100 system with adaptec 2940 controller. Currently I am running 2.0.30 with Doug's aic patch for the narrow drives. This works fine and I am able to access the dat drives fine.
However, the same does not happen with 2.0.32. I have downloaded the same from ftp.kernel.org and trying to access the dat drive results in the load average shooting up to 5.... After the system becomes unusable. I cannot log on, cannot shutdown... but the system does not freeze. On a terminal already on, I can work minus problems for some time.
The only option out is a cold boot.
What could be the problem with the scsi? Also, the scsi controller just freezes, does not do anything, but the load continously keeps shooting up.
-sam P.S. There is nothing in the logs though...
