Could be the 2.4.17 kernel.. I run a Dual RH 7.1 machine:

Somewhere in about version 2.4.10 Linus changed the virtual memory. I am not sure how stable kernels 2.4.10 - .17 are, but at least some people are running them with success. ---- That could be the problem. Down grade to 2.4.9 or .8, patch up the security holes, if any in that kernel, and give that a test run. --------------------- Johnny Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] p. 601.853.0211 c. 601.209.4985 -----Original Message----- From: Joshua J.Kugler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 11:26 AM To: MySQL Subject: Re: Problem with MySQL and SMP? We are having the same problem. Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.17, MySQL 3.23.47. Dual PIII-500, 512MB of RAM, Mylex DAC960 RAID 5. After being up for a few days, the system completely froze. No ssh, no console, nothing. Had to hard reset the server. Yes, we compiled MySQL: we have to. Our application relies on SELECT id ... WHERE id IS NULL behaving the same way as LAST_INSERT_ID(), and to do that, I have to comment out one (yes, just one) line of code. Which means I have to compile. Anyway, this is sort of a longish "me too," but I wanted to confirm that Gavin was not alone in this problem. j----- k----- On Thursday 10 January 2002 21:11, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I am having a problem with MySQL that I believe is related to SMP.
