Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-5
Severity: important
This is using a kernel compiled using the config from
kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp for woody with the required tools backported.
I'm fairly confident that this is a kernel issue rather than an issue
with the backported tools otherwise I wouldn't be reporting it via the
debian BTS.
I'm currently running 2.4.26 compiled in the same way which crashes
roughly about every 40 days or so. Built this latest 2.4 kernel to see
if it helps any. The kernel lasted about 6 hours before bailing. I have
an oops but can only run ksymoops while booted in 2.4.26 at the moment.
I can do limited testing provided I have time to schedule it as the
machine is in production.
The important bits about this system as far as I can make out are that
it's made to work quite hard doing backups. XFS on LVM on hardware RAID
(Mylex extremeraid 3000 - DAC960 driver). We snapshot the LVM partitions
before dumping to backup using xfsdump. xfs_freeze is used to quiesce
the partitions before snapshotting. A couple of the partitions are
exported using NFS.
Thanks for any help you can give.

This bug can be closed. The crash is caused by the PERC 2 RAID card (Adaptec)
in the machine timing out and taking the system partitions offline. A hardware
error for which there is a BIOS upgrade fix.
Thanks for your hard work on the Debian kernel packages.
