Hi, just got linked to this thread, so here's a bit input form me :) >> 1) system type > > A Sun Fire 280R, with two CPU boards, each carrying a TI UltraSparc III > (Cheetah), and 2 GB of RAM. If you need more info, just say. > > (Bernd Zeimetz has previously suggested that the problem is linked to > the processor type, the USIII.) It seems to hit USIII machines with 2 CPUs in one tray much more hard than US II, but once a month our Ultra60 (running two US II) has the same issues - it got much better with since 179c85ea53bef807621f335767e41e23f86f01df, though. before the mentioned patch it died a few times per day. Seems it got better on the USIII here, too (we have a v880 here, the large version of Josip's machine, with 2x 2 CPUs), but it still dies way too often, just not useable in the current state. > >> 2) compiler used to build kernel and is it SMP? > > gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) same compiler here. Please note that non-SMP kernels do not boot on those US-III machines at all (at least I didn't find a single one which does).
