[CentOS] Any known problems with kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64 / x86_64 / 3ware?
Hi, I have a server that is running centos 5.3 x86_64 that until last week was running fine. With no error messages in console and in /var/log/messages the server simply stops responding. After a reboot everything is fine. The only change (that I could find) but that was not active before the first incident/reboot was the update of the kernel and friends. The server (is this can help) is a intel quad core, 8GB RAM , 3 x 1TB disks (raid mirror with 2 active / 1 spare via 3ware controller) Any known problem with the kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64? (I am assuming that this would be the only thing that could cause the problem due to the lack of other messages.

I went ahead and gave the MIT Kerberos LDAP backed option a try. So far it seems to work quite well and nothing has crashed (yet :)). I'm going to run this setup for a couple weeks and see if I can break it.

Were you seeing any soft lockup messages with kswapd0 in /var/log/messages?
