Hallo!
I am running gentoo on encrypted root [system A] and storing data on
encrypted raid1; everything was fine untill two weeks ago I began to
leave my PC on for night. The problem is that it hangs completely with
no messages in /var/log/messages (freezes immediately after some hours
operating) and I have no idea what exactly is wrong. Hangs are random.
What I have done already:
1. tested memory for 8 hours - no errors.
2. suspected my own kernel configuration, copied my gentoo to
non-encrypted partition, recompiled same kernel with same .config, using
genkernel [system B]. Tested it for nearly 24hours - no hang. Other
differences between those 2 systems:
______________________A, B
kernel compile method: manually, genkernel using same .config
kernel startup: initrd.gz, initramfs created by
genkernel
raid1: yes, no
kernel version: 2.6.22-gentoo-sources-r9
Turns out, that most likely there is problem with loop-aes. Or not as
likely - with raid1.
I can send my configurations and other information, but I need advice to
further localize the problem!
