Re: Random crashes with high load (again)

I had a similar problem. It turned out that the machine was swapping but the disk couldn't keep up because dma was not turned on.

> hdparm /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
using_dma    =  1 (on)

I think I'll try asking for help with this one once more:

I still get a lot of segfaults on my Red Hat 9 machine. These always occur when I put high load on the system, but apart from that, the behaviour is completely arbitrary; any of the running processes may crash, and more often than not, it's a different one from the one actually loading the system. The system log doesn't tell me anything about what happened.

As always, I suspect a hardware problem, but I'm at my wit's end when it comes to figuring out exactly what component is faulty. I'm very nearly sure it's not the memory, though, as I still get the behaviour after replacing the entire RAM.

Ideas, anyone?
