System Still Freezing

Thu Mar 16 14:04:18 UTC 2006

Hi all,

Another chapter in the life (and death), of my Dell PE 1850.

As you may be aware, I have a PE 1850 that has started to intermitantly 
freeze (this all started Feb 23rd). SOmetimes, it will run for 2 days, then 
freeze, sometimes it can run as long as 5 days.

All logs and everything turned up to near debug, show nothing. The system 
just stops dead, and again, a physical suyvey of the server reveals nothing. 
All lights still working and blinking, no excessive heat not beeps etc etc.

A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for 4 hours 
straight and not 1 error found. I also ran memetst86 for 3 hours and no 
errors found.

Here are some particulars:

FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Dell PowerEdge 1850
-Intel 3.0 GHz Duel Core.
-512 MB DDR RAn
-74 GB SCSI Seagate Cheetah 10k.
- 2 Onboard Intel Pro1000 (1 GB) NICS (Both connected to my switch, 1 LAN 
and 1 WAN.).
- 1 Built in (Dedicated Riser) DRAC 4/I card.
- NO RAID, No Extra VIdeo or sound. No keyboard plugged in, no monitor.

SHould I consider diableing APIC and Hyperthreading? Does anything know if 
these two would be causing all the issues I have in the kernel?

I have been reading alot about interupt storms lately. How can I tell if 
this is whats happeneing here?

Thanks again all,

-GRant
