Due to a f**ked power shortage (no UPS yet) our server had to reboot: Hardware: model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 350.814 RAM: 128 MB Aladin5 based Asus board. IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5229 IDE (rev 193) and an additional: Promise Technology, Inc. 20268 (rev 2). There where 1 (for /) and 3 software RAID 5 IBM-DTLA-305040 each as master on a single channel connected all using ReiserFS. The system freezed (no oops - simply freeze) reproduceable during a ReiseFS check of the / partiotion. (So it doens't even come to the /home md0 one). I even booted a recsue disc mounted the / (so the transaction-log is clean), and rebooted. Then it freezes at an ramdon point during the init.d scripts. I fixed it by removing one IBM disc from the on-board IDE chip's second channel and adding it to the promisse as slave. Now it works? The server ran stable for 17 days using a 2.4.14 kernel and using the 2.4.16 since it got out ... I do not know what might be wrong, IDE code, ALi M5229 IDE code, RAID code (or ReierFS)? - I do not expet it to be fixed from this lousy bug-report - only that you heared that there might be a problem somehere in this areas ... (Oh. I do not like to try this again with our data - and we will have a UPS in some days ;-) - AND I will never use IDE crapp again :-((( ) Much thanks! Ren? -- Ren?
