And in the midst the system started giving odd messages. When i try to copy files(600M) from one partition(drive to drive) to another, I get messages like, Error:...... Call Trace:..... [some memlocation] scsi_iocompletion 0x185 ahd_run_qoutfifo 0xd0 rw_intr 0x75 scsi_bottom_half_handler 0x1f bh_action 0x55 tasklet_hi_action 0x67 do_soft_irq 0xd9 do_irq 0xfb default_idle 0x0 default_idle 0x0 call_do_irq 0x5 default_idle 0x0 default_idle 0x9 default_idle 0x29 cpu_idle 0x42 stext 0x0 CodeL Bad EIP value. <0>kernel panic. Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler - not syncing. And the system hangs. I have nothing in logs. I typed the whole message and each line had different mem location. As i doubted the RAM, he said he will replace the RAM with a new one. Today i got a new RAM from them. But still the problem persists. Then i downloaded all available s/ws ZCR driver, health driver etc. from their site and reinstalled the OS again. Still not working. Still memtest86 fails with the RAM. What may be the possible problem? Any ideas? thanks, SK -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
