Hmmmm, I would try (just as a test) replacing the Alteon Gigabit NIC with somethingI've got a machine with the following description: Dell Precision 530 Fully patched fedora Dual P4 Alteon Gigabit nic Services running: sshd, vsftpd, apache
Periodically, it goes (mostly) dead. It looks like this:
I can ping it.
I can nmap it, and the services are all detected
I cannot connect to any of the servers via a client (ie, ssh, ncftp, moz)
I can telnet to the appropriate ports, and get connected. (I forget how to make an http server spew to a telnet client, but I've done it before)
Both the terminal (through kvm) and console (serial, through to a concentrator on another machine) are dead in the water.
If I unplug the fibre to the nic, the console + terminal report this. same for when I replug it in. Nothing happens with usb devices (just trying to see about waking it up)
It's last uptime was a day and a half. this is the third time it's happened. I'm about to do hardware diagnostics on it, but am wondering if anyone has any idea about what else I should look at.
else and see if the freeze problem goes away.
You might also go into the BIOS and disable any devices you are not using
(this can cause the Interrupts to be re-arranged, so in case there was any conflict
it might be resolved).
Check /proc/interrupts
Try booting from CD #1 of the Fedora Beta 3 (or the Fedora Core 1 final release)
At the boot prompt try typing "memtest86"
and let that run overnight.
