| |
I've been having problems with a few of our servers and I can't seem to find this problem mentioned anywhere else. All of the dual processor machines will not operate with greater than 512 megs of ram with the newer SMP kernels (2.4.7-10enterprise #1 SMP). Two of the dual P3 1ghz machines crash after a few minutes, when the memory usage gets high enough, I presume. The errors they spit out vary, but its only when I go over 512megs of ram, and only on dual processor machines. I had a slightly different problem when I tried to set it up on a dual p2 266 machine, when I go over 512 megs there, the system takes an hour to boot up, and everything crawls from there. I asked a friend of mine to try this newer kernel with his dual processor server, and he says the same thing (when I go over 512, it crashes). Has anybody had this problem? Is there a fix?
