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
