Thanks for the info. I will try 5.4 on that server again on this Thur/Fri
(I am not in the office for these few days).
It was hard to tell what really triggered that. The server is one of our
NFS servers. With that first panic, I did not notice it right away. The 2nd
panic, I had a top running and was staring at it since reboot. When it
panic'ed (at ~6 minute uptime), the load climbed to only around 2-3. There
is nothing weird showing on top. Since this is one of our production
servers, I could not do too much experiment with it.
I had set up a similar system with the same MB/CPU on the bench. And it ran
the same 5.4-rel kernel, with some benchmark programs, over the weekend
without problem. However, I do not have a way to simulate all the network
traffic to that box. If you have any idea what I can try to isolate the
problem a little more, let me know.
