He after upgrading from core 2 to core 3 my server has gone crazy three times. I have a 2 CPU Dell 4350 with a PERC RAID. The upgrade switched the default boot from SMP to uniprocessor. I fixed it to boot SMP, but the problem continues. The server is a file server and usually has this problem when it is idle overnight. In the morning it won't accept passwords (including root) until it is rebooted. I usually see messages on the console like: "EXT-fs error (device sda2) in static_transaction" I suspect it must be a bug in core 3, but I haven't been able to find similar problems from others. I will probably reinstall core 2 to see if that fixes the problem, but I thought I should post a report. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
