[opensuse] midnight crashes (10.3 on IBM x3455)
Dear All, I am trying to get to the bottom of a problem with running 10.3 on IBM x3455 servers (2x dual core opteron). The machines crash without fail, exactly on midnight if the hardware and system clocks are synchronised. They also crash less predictably when the hardware clock reaches midnight. The crashes are so swift and complete that nothing gets written to the system, BIOS or BMC logs. If any of you have seen a similar fault, I'd like to hear from you and compare notes. And I'll summarise the outcome here for everybody's benefit. Cheers, Anna -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Set kernel logging to be sent to a serial port and attach another device (terminal, PC etc) to record what it sees there. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Dave! It appears that the problem was with it booting with acpi=off. Curiously, of the five new servers that we just bought, four of them suffered from this problem and the other one didn't. Onwards to the next problem... Anna -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
