I suspect it having something to do with 2.4.25 new "One last read after the timeout" in ide-iops.c and accessing the drive while selftest running (possibly especially short selftest). Here, daily at 01:00 smartmontools runs smart short selftests and a bit later the machine hangs. Today, I disabled that job and the machine stays stable. > error another device, but it's allways a device on the promise > controller, fails. Dito...

My machine did run at least since: Jan 18 09:41:21 darkside kernel: Linux version 2.4.24 ...

That's nothing. If you play it forwards, it installs NT. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
