[rhn-users] Intermittent system lock ups on IBM x366 running 64bitRHEL3U5-x86_64

[Lamon, Frank III]

We've seen those type hangs with Broadcom NICs and Adaptec controllers.
An IBM supplied driver may resolve the problem.

Has anybody experienced system lockups and/or system hangs. 

We recently loaded an IBM X366 4processor box with RedHat 3.0 update 5
x86_64  64bit.  We now see occasionally over night or throughout the day
system hangs. To the point where the interfaces may be pingable but ssh
or telnet are not allowed. Connectivity through a RSA-II card is allowed
but the remote control capability is useless. At this point only a
system reset clears up the system so it can be accessed once again.

Diagnosis from the RSA has been run and comes back clean.  No error logs
explaining loss of power or temp warnings. No loss of network
connectivity or cpu/memory failures.  The system simply locks up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
