Not that I'll be of much help but where did you see journal "commit I/O
error" ? could you copy down the crash into a reply ? Are you running a
gui or text mode ?
Now back in fc3's hey day, I remember problems {message similar to what
you are seeing} with the raid array (aacraid) when I booted the SMP
kernel {so always used the non-smp kernel}. After some 6 months or so, a
combination of raid firmware and newer kernels fixed this up.
I have two fc3 servers {hardware raid 5} up for 200+ days, so it is
possible:
08:57:36 up 214 days, 11:54, 9 users, load average: 0.22, 0.17, 0.16
The machine is currently running a :
Linux server1 2.6.12-2.3.legacy_FC3smp #1 SMP Sun Feb 19 08:53:09 EST
2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
kernel-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
kernel-2.6.12-2.3.legacy_FC3
kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
kernel-smp-2.6.12-2.3.legacy_FC3
Running at least the most current kernel update might immediately solve
the problem ?

Thanks Dave.
I am running a text mode with 2.6.9 smp. I couldn't upgrade to 2.6.12
because the hard disk complaint. I guess I just have to re-install
Fedora 5 or 6.
