Hello,
I'm having a problem with two machines I admin. Both are
running identical 2.6.10 kernels:
Linux rhea 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP Mon Feb 21 16:54:22 EST 2005 i686 Pentium
II(Deschutes) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
One is an SMP machine, and the other is not (but runs an SMP kernel).
This problem showed up on my non SMP machine even before it was running
an SMP kernel, so I'm ruling out SMP.
Here's the CPU hog from `top`:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
7 root 15 -10 0 0 0 R 99.9 0.0 312:26.32 events/1
And here it is from `ps`:
# ps auxwww | grep event
root 6 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D< 13:19 0:00 [events/0]
root 7 94.9 0.0 0 0 ? R< 13:19 316:49 [events/1]
The *only* similarity between these two machines that I can think of
is the fact that they both run SATA drives with the libata driver.
One is a P4, one is a dual CPU P2. They're very different machines.
If I try to shut the machine down when it is in this state, it hangs
after it saves the random seed data.
Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone else run SATA via libata
on a 2.6.10 kernel without this problem? How do I fix it?
