Points of similarity:
Dual (SMP) P3-450, supermicro (BX) motherboard
kernel 2.4.20
red hat (7.3 w/ updates)
Differences:
no IDE
main disks on AHA2940U2W
Firewire (aua-3121) or scsi AHA-1542
I've found two separate hangs. The most interesting is that I have
two (different) firewire disks. I can access either of the disks all
day, but as soon as I access both at the same time the system hangs.
I am unable to test this on 2.4.18 as one of the firewire disks
(WD 200GB) is not recognized correctly under 2.4.18, which is
why I am running 2.4.20 in the first place.
The second hang seems related to ejecting an audio cd-rom from
a CD-RW attached to its private AHA-1542 scsi controller.
Both hangs are "hard" without any sort of output to the console.
I also lose the console echo. I'd guess that I'm running into a
SMP deadlock.
