I'm certainly jealous. My E4500 will only run a couple of days before |
| 21 |
it hangs requiring a reboot. Sometimes it will still respond to pings |
| 22 |
but that's all. Never any console messages, just a hung box. On my |
| 23 |
uniprocessor sparc's (U5 and U30) is is very stable but not on the E4500 |
| 24 |
with 8 CPU's. It is running Gentoo with a 2.4 kernel (2.4.31 at the |
| 25 |
moment). |
