It's sad not being able to run 2.4 as I seem to loose a lot of
performance. The load average on this database server is now 4 or higher
while it was 3 or lower when I ran 2.4. Hyperthreading might be part of
the reason for the performance improvement and that's a feature I'd really
like to be able to use. Note that I tried running 2.4 with HT turned off
in both kernel and BIOS and the server still locked on me so HT should not
be the cause of the stability problems.
If this might be a kernel issue in 2.4 and you need more info to debug it,
just ask me for any stats you might need, I'd be glad to supply it. If you
think it's a BIOS problem, should I contact Supermicro and let them know
about this?
Thanks,
Johan
