Hi!
I can give you an idea of the workload :-) I have the same problem on an
nearly idle Server. There runs only a few cronjobs (normal Debian System
crons).
The load was not higher than 0.01 on this system the last 3 days and
this morning it crashes with the same error.
I've not tested 2.6.19.x cause this one has some problems with SATA AHCI
driver which we need. But i can manuelly update only this system with
2.6.19.x and wait some days.
There were no other messages in the log.
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi!
The update of the IDE layer was in 2.6.19. I don't think it is a
hardware bug cause all these 5 machines runs fine since a few years with
2.6.16.X and before. We switch to 2.6.18.6 on monday last week and all
machines began to crash periodically. On friday last week we downgraded
them all to 2.6.16.37 and all 5 machines runs fine again. So i don't
believe it is a hardware problem. Do you really think that could be?
I was thinking more of a driver change that is being triggered on
that particular hardware. FWIW, did you test 2.6.19?
I really need a better idea of the workload these servers are running
and, ideally, a reproducable test case to track something like
this down. At the moment I have no idea what is going on and no
real information on which to even base a guess.
Were there any other messages in the log?

Hi!
I've another idea... could it be, that it is a barrier problem? Since
barriers are enabled by default from 2.6.17 on ...
You could try turning it off. If it does fix the problem, then I'd be
pointing once again at hardware ;)
Cheers,
Dave.
