Instability issue with FC5 on dual-core system.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



System runs latest FC5 x86-64 kernel (2.6.17-1.2139_FC5)
System might suddenly hang hard or reboot.

Seems to blurt sporadic errors to syslog.

Console messages:
Message from syslogd@m1 at Thu Jun 29 00:56:55 2006 ...
m1 kernel: Oops: 0000 [1] SMP

get-errors.sh runs smartctl on both existing and nonexisting disks.
It seems to have hung on hdd.
hdd: CDU5211, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, UDMA(33)


relevant part of get-errors.sh:
-----
for device in "hda" "hdb" "hdc" "hdd" "hde" "hdf"
do
        exists=0
        smartctl -i /dev/$device | grep -i support | grep -ci enabled >
$tempfile1
        exists=`cat $tempfile1`

        # Continus only if SMART support is enabled
        if [ "$exists" != "0" ]; then
                smartctl -H /dev/$device > $tempfile2
                smartctl -c /dev/$device >> $tempfile2
                errtmp=`grep -ci PASSED $tempfile2`

                # Continue only if the disk reports a temperature
                if [ "$errtmp" == "0" ]; then
                        echo "SMART: /dev/$device failed smart tests" >>
$logfile
                        smarterr=$smarterr+1
                fi
        fi
done

The system has rebootet twicein 3 days, this time it did not reboot
but some processes have hung. Running ps ax was a bad idea, as that
hung too.

crash utility just fails with the following error:
crash: cannot resolve "cpu_pda"

For more info just ask. I might reboot it but I'm sure it's not
going to be far between crashes.
