Just wondering if anyone knows of any reason why a xfs redhat 8.0 would
just lock up, and leave no log traces in the messages file.. I do not
really have any data that says that it is XFS related (in fact I doubt
it). I am just not sure where to go for answers.. I've looked on the web
and never found anything relevant. From what I can gather, the machine
dies on its network connection, and all keyboard activity locks up.
The screen continues to display the last thing that occured before the
lockup, but there is no additional input/output. From what I can tell,
it has only happened in periods of inactivity (this is a new development
machine).
Does it have a broadcom gigabit card (bcm5700). If so try either the 1.2
tg3 driver from Jeff Garzik or switch to the bcm5700 which is already
available on your machine.
It's a known problem and 2.4.18-19 is supposed to fix this. But there is no
XFS kernel from that errata release yet.

It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.
