We built one volume with 6x 70GB drives. 3 separate RAID 1's spanned together to build 1 volume of 210GB. so the / partition is on the RAID. I'll try the upgrade again tomorrow since the machine is down for the count anyways with the RAM thing and try to record where it dies again. Just looked at our other opteron, same setup, went into swap without a problem.. I'm thinking it's bad RAM or something. 2 servers, identical hardware purchased 3 months apart showed same results. | > | |>:(, same with the SLES Service pack 2, so we started from scratch |>install, no extra patches. |> |>we've got a couple of issues... |> |>1) Linux won't boot with the DRAM ECC enabled in the BIOS.. so we're |>running w/o ECC. | | | This looks like a hardware problem. Or do you have any information | that this is Linux' fault? | | I'm going to pull the RAM and stick it into an Intel serverboard and run the intel diags on it this week sometime. I hope it's bad RAM. Sure would love to get those 2GB dimms, anyone with experience running the tyan 2880 with 12GB on SLES 8?
