An interesting problem which is puzzling me since the beginning of the
month:
o 8200/333, 2 CPU, 640Mb RAM, DU 4.0D, ample swap, unpatched
o running a postgres job as user postgres, query on 56Mb table,
done before, nothing earth-shattering
o console (VT510) has
vmalloc: unable to allocate
vmalloc: unable to allocate
o machine dead. Hung, nothing works from console, no panic, no
automatic reboot no nothing. Nothing in /var/adm/crash, dia is
silent too.
o hit reset switch, machine comes up as if nothing had ever
happened according to logs.
The machine passes 48hrs of VET testing and console-level tests
without any problems.
Ideas?
While I'm at it: anyone care to suggest which patch kits I should
install on top of 4.0D?
Thanks,
Arrigo
