Replace the kernel with 2.4.18-pre3-ac2 which includes the recent ATA driver from Andre Hedric. NIC was moved from slot 3. nic@hoppa:~$ cat /proc/ide/drivers ide-cdrom version 4.59 ide-disk version 1.12 Everything seemed to be running smoothly. I performed the stress test mentioned here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101059003125783&w with the added complication of ping flooding and being ping flooded. nic@hoppa:~$ sudo cat /dev/hda > /dev/null & sudo ping -f -s 64000 inktiger [1] 445 PING inktiger.kpac.co.nz (192.168.9.108): 64000 data bytes ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... --- inktiger.kpac.co.nz ping statistics --- 406 packets transmitted, 16 packets received, 96% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 258.3/695.8/1783.5 ms nic@hoppa:~$ uname -a Linux hoppa 2.4.18-pre3-ac2 #3 Wed Jan 23 10:48:41 NZDT 2002 i686 unknown I was going to say "Stable as a rock again", but I thought to soon.

Lucky I've got ext3 I think. Nope, as soon as the reboot gets to that partition the above messages start filling up the console again. fsck -c /dev/hda7 only makes things worse. Looks like I'll just have to deep six that whole part of the drive. Power reset - to reset the HD IDE bus - doesn't seem to help matters either. Looks like the low-level format part of the drive might be corrupted. Note: /dev/hda7 is the /var mount point. I've noted before that often problems with the drive and related to CUPS spool events. Network and disk IO at the same time. Looks like that part of the drive is completely toasted. I wonder where I sould send the bill too. I'm definitely thinking that I should not even consider AMD/VIA solutions near core servers.
