Hi,
I have seen a similar problem: let me guess... all the lights of the connected
devices are still flashing, no console login possible, no ping returns - the
machine is dead.
I had a similar problem using three Adaptec U2W and sent a message round about ten
to fourteen days ago to this list.
I use one controller for system disks and the two others for stripes (one
connected to each controller) with four disks on each stripe. Under heavy load on
one of the stripes (controllers) the systems hangs and the above described
happened.
Reading /var/log/warn shows timeouts on the bus. I changed one controller and two
disks - the timeouts did not happen again - but I think, that is not the real
solution.
Upgrading the aic7xxx-driver before did not solve the problem also. Later I
entered the bios (Asus P2B-DS) and gave the controllers fixed irq's.
That's all. The problem did not happen again - but I had lots of filesystem errors
and they still remain (always under heavy load).
By the way: is there any utility to read the data from the bios (temperature of
cpu and so on).
Greetings, Dietmar
