Hi, All. I think I've solved this. It looks like the problem was the tg3 driver. I changed the configuration to use the bcm5700 driver (which is included with suse 9.1) and my big copy tests passed without freezing. On Wednesday, June 2, 2004, at 05:06 PM, Kevin Lewandowski wrote:
Okay, here's some more info on the problem.
I re-ran the big copy with the cover off of the machine and it froze again.
Next I tried the copy using the onboard intel nic (e100) and it succeeded. No freeze.
Finally I tried the copy using the second broadcom gigabit nic and it froze.
So now it must be either a driver issue with the broadcom nic or overheating maybe? The broadcom chip on the motherboard did not seem hot at all.
thanks, Kevin

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try these today or tomorrow and post the results.
FYI, the NIC is onboard, and roughly close to the AMI RAID card. I'll also try my test with the built-in 100mb nic, which is further away from the RAID card.
thanks, Kevin

Sorry, Kevin, I apologize, seems it was too late tonight:
let some fans blow fresh cool air in between your cards (esp. Graphic correction: network , not Graphic and SCSI), memory sticks and onto the typical intense areas on your Tyan MoBo, --> do you use an on-board-network controller? and try your "Gigabit-Copy" again. Still the same behaviour?
Background: I had similar intermitting problems some years ago with an Onboard-Adaptec-Chip which was placed more or less below the PCI cards on that MoBo series; and additionally, being the lowest slot, the 3COM was shielded from air-flow by the parallel EIDE cables ;-( One slow-running fan blowing in-between the slots + carefully re-placing the broad parallel cables solved all those problems :-))
If yes still: I guess you have already checked the memory comptibility aspect? (See lots of corresponding articles earlier in this list.)
Looking forward to hearing your results! - Manfred
