This is a problem with U2+kernel-2.6.x generally. Unfortunately, I
have no suggestions nor do I have a solution. I just grit my teeth and
stay with the kernel-2.4.x series, which are completely stable on U2,
so far as I can tell.
What is your U2 configuration ? I have only one U2 and I cannot
test on this station because it's a mail server :-( In fact, I think
it should be interesting to know if this trouble come from SMP, ESP
or Sbus support. It is impossible to build a kernel with debug
information (it does not boot due to a address not aligned...), but I
have tested the same kernel on a U1E (with the same ESP chip and two
additional HappyMeal Ethernet cards on Sbus slots). It perfectly
works. Can you try a 2.6 on U2 without SMP support ?

I have 2 U2's; U2(2x300), U2(2x400). The SMP doesn't matter, though; U2
with 2.6.x will freeze eventually even if a uniprocessor. SMP just lets
it fail more quickly. Problem is believed to be SCSI or Sbus, I think,
but I don't know that anyone is sure. The kernel people have known
about this for well over a year, but no fix.
For more current information, you might ask squash@xxxxxxxxxx or
weeve@xxxxxxxxxx --- I haven't tried 2.6 on U2 for a while because no
one has claimed to have a fix for this problem. (Gentoo spent a lot of
time on this freeze a few months ago, but no satisfaction. I am sure,
though, that we ruled out SMP as the problem.)

Hi,
I'm running 2.6.20-rc5 on my ultra2 (2x300) for a few weeks now and have
not
observed any freezes at all. I attach my config, maybe you can find some
hint
what causes the problem.
Regards
That doesn't really mean much. My U2 ran for 45 days on 2.6.12 before locking up
solid. It was killed by a nightly rsync of the Gentoo portage tree. It had done
the same sync 44 times previously, but that time took it out. With 2.6.17, it
hard locked the first time I synced the tree on a new install, but that was a
full sync instead of just a small subset like with 2.6.12.
