[Vserver] any kernel gurus know what this is?
ok. i am definitely having problems with this new opteron machine we have... only thing i can see remotely close to an error or warning msg is this from the kernel: i get this message as early in the boot process as when it decompresses to begin boot: "kernel mapping table up to 100,000,000 at 8000:d800" this is a linux 2.6.18.3 kernel 2.6.18-vs2.1.1-gentoo-r1 could this be a disk controller address? last week the machine died twice both with disk errors, the 2nd time it actually scrambled a few sectors in a lvm partition in the website vserver. i had to run shred on the partition to fix it. just this morning, initially i had no warning something was wrong until i tried to execute any command and got back 'command not found'. turns out the running system could not access the disk array in any fashion. a power cycle brought it back to normal and it has been running ok for the past few hours. in case it helps hardware is 2xopteron dual core 265 tyan 2882D motherboard 4gb registered ram 2 sata2 drives in raid1 configuration. could i have a setting wrong in the kernel? -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
