| |
Using Redhat 6.0 and the 2.2.5-22 kernel, I have a situation where an IBM Netfinity system hangs a few minutes after booting. However, it does not experience this hang when using the 2.2.11 kernel. I need to pinpoint the problem and am looking for ideas.
I've investigated the /var/log/messages and syslog debug messages, but have not found anything "error" related. Are there other error reporting facilities I should be looking at?
Is there a way to force a system dump or stack trace of the Linux OS at the time of the hang?
What tools exist to debug this type of situation? (ie. a system hang)
Also, I've been browsing through several of the Linux kernel web pages looking for bug descriptions that kernel patches address but have been unsuccessful. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross Mikosh mikosh@austin.ibm.com
