k_deflt-2.4.18-262 and Legato Networker -> system is dead
Hi, last monday I updated the kernel of our Suse Linux 7.3 server (k_deflt-2.4.18-262.i386.rpm, compaq DL380). After that, the server died every night, just after Leagato Networker backup software contaced the server. I can't see anything useful in the logs. The last entry in /var/log/messages is at 22:59h, the backup beginns at 2300h. The first night the server died, Legato was able so backup some stuff, but died at 2320h. I could ping the machine and got a connect on port 22 (ssh), but no ssh-banner or anything else. I had to reset the machine. I used a tool called stress to test the server. I generated a load of 10 for about 1h - no problem. I also used this tool, and bonnie, to stress the hard disks - no problem. Then, I fall back to the original kernel that came with 7.3. Now everything works normal again. Any ideas what went wrong? Ralf

No. But I had strange problems too, when I made exactly the same update of my SuSE 7.3: In certain moments the PC freezed while I was working (doing nothing special), and my scanner's SCSI card did not work at all. So I updated to the patched kernel proposed for SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19-274), and it seems that everything is o.k. Maybe that is an option for you, too. Without warranty, of course :-) Bye, Hatto
