Is this one box running > different loads to the others or different in any notable way ? nothing really different. we have 5-6 servers like this one and this one have been crashed for 2 days only (once per day). never before !? when the server crashed the load was 1.2. nothing really bad. the only difference is: this server has the serial cart. I was in contact with Ted for the serial problem on Linux, but I have no news from about the crashs. I do not know if the serial cart can crash the server that interrupts are disabled ?
