I have 2 U2's; U2(2x300), U2(2x400). The SMP doesn't matter, though; U2 |
31 |
with 2.6.x will freeze eventually even if a uniprocessor. SMP just lets |
32 |
it fail more quickly. Problem is believed to be SCSI or Sbus, I think, |
33 |
but I don't know that anyone is sure. The kernel people have known |
34 |
about this for well over a year, but no fix. |

For more current information, you might ask squash@g.o or |
37 |
weeve@g.o --- I haven't tried 2.6 on U2 for a while because no |
38 |
one has claimed to have a fix for this problem. (Gentoo spent a lot of |
39 |
time on this freeze a few months ago, but no satisfaction. I am sure, |
40 |
though, that we ruled out SMP as the problem.) |
