Is there anyone still workin on 2.0.* kernel?
After 2.0.36 upgrade I've had a couple of networking lock in a heavily loaded server.
Symptoms: -If I connect to the server with ssh (ssh server) I get no prompt for password and after a while I get a timeout message. -Previous ssh connections still keep working. -Getting a web page from the server works but when I run a cgi with POST method I get connection timed out. -named is unable to resolv anything it has to get from outside. -ping works. -ppp users that connects via modem with pap get disconnected few seconds after being successfully authenticated. -Nothing strange is logged by syslogd or klogd (Is there a way to obtain more info from the kernel in such situations?) -No change if I kill and restart all the involved daemons (inetd sshd httpd named etc.) -Only a reboot seems to solve the problem.
The server is a Pentium with ide i82371 PIIX (Triton), Cyclades Cyclom-Ye/PCI and NE2000 clone.
Nothing similar happened with 2.0.35. (Of course it has the sys_accept bug but it does not require a reboot)
If you need further info please write to my e-mail address as I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.
