| |
[1.] kernel crashes, most often while dumping to scsi tape.
[2.] I've had several linux crashes with 3 different server machines running RedHat 7.x, where I had compiled successive versions of the kernel. 99,9% of the time, the crashes appear while backing up with "dump". When crashes appeared, the system was completely frozen; all I could do was restart the machine with power off and on. There were generally no error messages in the log files, but sometimes I found some hexa code on the screen console. Two weeks ago I've installed RedHat7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-3 (I didn't recompile it, just use the one from redHat, as it is). I've made lot and lot of backups and never seen any crash. I was happy until this night, because that time the system crash again. BUT, this time, I've found this pretty log:

Software uses: - X is NOT running - netatalk, samba, wu-ftp, apache, sshd, dhcpd As you can see those machines are not new. I don't remember to have encountered those problems when kernel running was 2.0.36 two years ago on exactly same hardware.
