Intermitent lockups

MrJoshua · 10-07-2002, 12:03 PM

I have a Red Hat 7.3 Server, with Dual MPs on a Tyan Tiger MP MoBo. The machine also has a WD 80GB 8MB cache HD in it. For some reason the machine runs fine all week long at work, then every now and then I come in, and it is hardlocked. I can not really trouble shoot it, because it will do after 10 days of use or 4 depends. Is there any log in RedHat that might help me. Or if you guys have any suggestions that might help.

I think there would be a log, no idea what it is called.

ls /var/log -tcrl

I know where they are, but I don't know how to fix it.

What does /var/log/messags say? Is it in a network? Can you connect to it when it appears to be locked?

I've had smilar cases like that but that is due to the Intel NIC driver - the problematic eepro100. I changed it to e100 and the lockups went away.

Thanks for the help, I will try to change out the NIC driver, and see what happens.
