Fancy freezes after 59min with sarge
Dear community
I have a very misterious problem. I can reproduce freezes on 4 identical
machines using sis chipset in msi 845 barebones with debian sarge. The
machines are used as LAMP servers. No X-stuff.
Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 651 Host (rev 02)
The freezes usually occur after 59min and 30 secs.
I tried without success:
- sarge kernel 2.4.27-2-686
- backports kernel 2.4.27-2-686
- backports kernel 2.4.26-1-686
- sarge kernel 2.6.8-2-686
- self built 2.4.31
- disabling all daemons except sshd and my ssh session with bash
- upgraded versions from woody
- fresh debootstrapped sarge
All machines had no problems with debian woody and also no problems with
a 2.4.28 kernel and nfsroot (debian woody).
I have no problems with the same software configuration on different
machines using ati chipset.
It looked for differences in the bootprocess between sarge and woody. I
found that woody didn't use tmpfs and also no dm-mod, that is loaded by
the libdevmapper.
The fun thing is, that if i unmount tmpfs and rmmod dm-mod, i sometimes
gain some "uptime". 1h30... 2h... 4h.
These machines are located in a datacenter and i checked twice a
screen of a freezed machine and it was black.
I also used syslog with remote log to check if there is a "last cry" -
nothing.
Any ideas? :)
Thanks...

Thanks to uptimed for tracking uptimes... here some cuts from 2
