Can you please: a) Try vanilla-sources-2.4.28 b) Run that log trace through the 'ksymoops' utility on the server from where the stack trace was gathered and paste the output. Unfortunately, I'm no longer running a gentoo-sources kernel on any production servers, except the two that had not been upgraded, and thus have remained stable. Those are running 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 and 2.4.20-gentoo-r31. However, I will try to apropriate a server from the lab and attempt to load test it to get some results. This may take several days to do. As a Gentoo fan, I wouldn't want management to have any reason to go sour on it. As a side note, the production servers have been moved to kernels based on vanilla-sources 2.4.28 and have not crashed yet. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the problem on a test server. Also, one of the production servers that I moved to using a vanilla-kernel has been crashing at random. Luckily it is not nearly at the frequency that it used to crash. It used to go down every other day and now it tends to crash once a week or so. The frustrating part is, no stack dump or kernel trace or even error message is left in any of the logs. Since this is a production server it is set to reboot on a kernel panic so I never get to see the message on the console. I plan on trying a few more kernel variations. I'm going to close this bug for now, since I'm beginning to wonder if it may be a hardware issue of some sort. |
