thanks
we use a 3ware 9000 SATA-RAID5 controller.
strange.
we have a xeon cpu here.
so it's not a amd specific problem either i guess.
maybe some strange SMP problem.
BUT we use kernel 2.6.11 so that could be the problem.
aaaaahh noooo i hate kernel updates :)
i will try a kernel update... sometime ;)
