CentOS - Aug 2009 - System freezes completely under kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5

Hello,

is there a known problem with the new kernel for CentOS 5.3?

Till today, my server works without any problems. But after updating to
the new kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 the system freezes completely with no
more access by keyboard or over network. The last message
in /var/log/messages is 'Aug 25 14:07:41 weidenwinde kernel: hdg:
dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21'.

I have not change my hardware, have not change configuration and till
this new kernel the system was running without any problems. The
harddisks are younger than a year.

Is someone else this seeing?


regards
Olaf

not me, I've got the new kernel on about 6 machines, and my laptop with 
no problems. What is the prev kernel you were running ? There were some 
major changes in the early 5.3 days thats caued some issues on some AMD 
based cpu's - however, nothing of this nature. Most of the issues I've 
seen and know that exist revolve around the acpi changes and xen.
